Pushpanjali to an Aikya Linga in Varanasi
Pushpanjali (Sanskrit:पुष्पाञ्जलि, literally folded hands full of flowers) is an offering of flowers to Hindu deities.
Pushpanjali is the first dance in a Bharatha Natyam performance. It is the salutation to the lord of dance Nataraja, the Guru, the musicians and the audience.
It is made up of 2 words. Pushpa - flower Anjali - folded hands to show respect.
The dancer holds flower to offer prayers to the Trinity of God's, goddesses, ashta dikpalakas, and scholars in dance.
