Will the exponents of Baratha Natyam and other traditional Dance forms of TamilNadu let us know through this Forum Hub whether there are any "ancient original Tamil treatises" that are now available, either in the Ola manuscript form unpublished, or in the printed Book form and published regarding same.

The only "Tamil Original Work on traditional Dances" that is available today, and which I am aware of, and presently available in the book form from its original Ola manuscript, is the "Kooththa Nool".

  //Coming to the subject matter, the Bharatha Natyam received it's name, as the sage named Baratha composed the dance treatise known as Natyasastra in sanskrit around 2000 years ago. //
  
  NO!! The Thamizh 'Bharathars' (aka the sea coast Thamizhans) created Bharatha Naatiyam. Not some muni and that muni years is now being increased! Many Thamizh people who teach Bharatha Naatiyam lack the knowledge to know about its origin or Thamizh Isai and etc. Silapathikaaram explain the ways to make the ring for Bharatha Naatiyam! Simply Thiru Ilango didn't invent it and it was in use in Thamizh Nadu long ago Silapathikaaram!

  I am 15 years old now! I'm learning BHARATHA NATYAM since I'm 3 years old. I think all of us should learn this because it is our culture! i am from Malaysia, eventhough I'm out of India, my father is Portugis, but I still follow my mother's culture. It's not a big problem whether I'm mix blood or not, but I STILL LOVE MY BHARATHA NATYAM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
