About Kathak
The word kathak derived from “Katha”, literally means story teller. Music and dance were used by story tellers to illuminate the story while attacking the sensibilities of the audience.
Kathak became an established part of court culture, performed under the patronage of India’s Persian kings and Muslim moghuls. This sealed Kathak’s transition from colloquial entertainment to classical art form.
