The Alarippu (meaning flowering bud) is traditionally the first dance piece that Bharatanatyam dancers learn and perform in this type of classical dance recital.[1] It is an invocation piece, symbolizing the offering of respects to both God, the guru, and the audience.[2] The Alarippu was created in five different talas by the four brothers historical named Tanjore Quartet in the nineteen century Tanjore Royal Court. The original concept of Alarippu is now almost disappeared in the mainstream presentations of Bharata Natyam. The Kishna Brothers Ram and Suresh from The Netherlands, studied at the source of Bharata Natyam, at Tanjore Guru K.P.Kittappa Pillai and his son Tanjore K.P.K.Chandrasekaran, they are one of the few artists whom have kept the original concept of Alarippu safe.
