i read this on wikipedia that the devadasis in tamil nadu use to practise the 108 karanas (dr padma was the researcher of the karanas she researched it deeply and found out it was not just a static pose but movements), it was almost a forgotten part of history of dance the 108 karanas are not practiced any more i don't know why. when you visit tamil nadu and go to chidambaram temple you'll see the karanas at the entrance. one more thing in the whole of india, tamil nadu there are only 3 ancient temples that contain the 108 karanas except tanjor it has only 81 karanas i forgotten why.
