  1. Mohit Bijpuriya –

    The book is informative, but the writing style is sometimes dry. Some chapters were more engaging than others. Overall, an okay read.

  2. Saurabh Singh Rathour –

    While comprehensive, the book could benefit from a more streamlined structure. I found myself getting lost in the details at times. Worthwhile, but dense.

  3. Shikhar Suryawanshi –

    I loved learning about the different influences on Bharatanatyam over time. It is a must read for serious follower of the dance.

  4. Paranjay Niroula –

    This book is great for both dancers and appreciators of this art form! It is insightful in the growth of the dance and its many forms.

  5. Arka Basumatary –

    This book changed the way I see Bharatanatyam. Gaston is a true expert. Beautiful and insightful, opening the door to richer appreciation.

  6. Prasad Balasaheb Ekhande –

    An excellent resource for understanding the evolution of Bharatanatyam. The author’s knowledge is evident on every page. Highly recommend!

  7. Gaurav Pingolia –

    Gaston’s passion shines through. The photos are wonderful, and the historical context is invaluable. A must-read for anyone serious about the dance form.

  8. Prasaanth S –

    Beautifully written and researched. It gave me a deeper appreciation for the art form. A very thorough exploration, good images and a very interesting read.

  9. Gaurav Bharti –

    I was expecting more on the practical aspects of Bharatanatyam. It is heavily focused on the historical and theoretical side, which was a bit disappointing.

  10. Preethika E –

    As a dancer, I found this book insightful, especially regarding the guru-shishya parampara. However, it could be more accessible to non-dancers.

  11. Yashika Methi –

    The book is quite academic and dry. It dives into the historical context and doesn’t leave much for the performance aspects of the dance.

  12. Atul Nautiyal –

    A good overview, but I wish there was more about the future of Bharatanatyam. Some of the historical details were repetitive. Still, a worthwhile read.

  13. Vidhi Gupta –

    It is an okay book, but the author could’ve given different perspectives on the dance and what it meant to different teachers. A different opinion!

  14. Nishit Muralia –

    Fascinating read! It shows how Bharatanatyam has evolved over time while keeping its traditional roots. A wonderful, detailed account of this dance.

  15. Sourajit Khan –

    A decent book, but nothing groundbreaking. It covers familiar territory, but doesn’t offer any new perspectives. Okay for beginners.

  16. Aman Tamrakar –

    Some chapters felt repetitive and the organization could be better, but the information is valuable. A good source of historical context.
