Mohan Urdhva

Mohan Urdhva is an Indian classical dance movement technique characterized by expressive hand gestures, intricate footwork, and graceful body movements that convey stories and emotions. Rooted in traditional Bharatanatyam, it emphasizes precise, deliberate movements combined with facial expressions to communicate narrative and spiritual themes.

The style showcases disciplined craftsmanship, blending artistry with deep cultural symbolism, and is used by dancers to evoke devotion, tell mythological stories, and connect spiritually through structured, aesthetically refined performance.
