Arangetram is a combination of the Tamil words “arangu” for stage and “etram” for ascent and its literal translation means “ascending on stage”. It marks the formal debut performance of a student who has completed the initial training in the dance form. On this occasion, the Sishya (student) seeks the blessings of the divine dancer, Lord Nataraja and her Guru (teacher) and presents the art form with devotion and sincerity.
