THE ARANGETRAM:

After completing a full set of items, i.e. the Margam, the student is ready to perform the arangetram.The Arangetram means the first full fledged kathak/Bharatanatyam/kuchipudi/oddissi performance of a young artiste who performs in an auditorium in front of a distinguished and cultured audience, press and media. The Arangetram is a landmark in the life of a dance artiste just like an examination in the life of a student. In this performance the young artiste proves to the world that she is a good Bharatanatyam artiste.

The expenditure of the performance is that of the parents and is about 1 lac rupees which includes the cost of booking of hall, printing of invitations, costume and jewellery, photography and portfolio, refreshments, orchestra payments, honouring of Guru and presentations etc.
