Adavu names

Post by lshiv »

Namaskaram! My question is to the Bharathanatyam experts in this group - except Thattadavu, naattadavu and kudhithumettadavu, all other adavus are called in so many different names. (one example is to call the same adavu as Paraval / Mardhitha / Pakka/ Meetadavu / Visharu adavu). Is there any source to these adavu names such as books or online content that give elaborate description of why an adavu is named that way and step by step ways to perform the adavu? I have one reference which is detailed - Bharathakalai Kotpaadu... however, some sollukattus for the same adavu is a little different in other online forums. Tried to go-through the adavu content in Lagu Bharatham... sorry, could not get the details i was looking for... Is there any book or video material exclusively on all adavus? Were the names attached to the Banis? kindly share more information or redirect me to the online content and help clarify my question. Sorry if this is already discussed.
