Indian classical dances are often praised and appreciated for their graceful and balanced movements. Accompanied by gestures, details and precision, Indian classical dances have maintained their own position and aura in the field of dances. Many of these classical dances are usually performed to certain selected rhythms and produced from instruments like tabla, sitar, sarangi and more.
