It originated in a village of Krishna district in modern Indian state of Andhra Pradesh. Kuchipudi is a dance-drama performance art, with its roots in the ancient Hindu Sanskrit text of Natya Shastra. It developed as a religious art linked to traveling bards, temples and spiritual beliefs, like all major classical dances of India. Evidence of Kuchipudi's existence in an older version is found in copper inscriptions of the 10th century, and by the 15th century in texts. Kuchipudi largely developed as a Hindu god Krishna-oriented tradition, and it is most closely related to Bhagavata Mela performance art found in Tamil Nadu. About Lulu: She was a teacher in Chinese Dance at Victoria Dance Academy in Singapore. Passionate about Indian classical dance artforms she started her learning in Bharatnatyam and later Kuchipudi from Master Hari Om. About the act: It's about Vishnu and his wife Lakshmi.
