Amongst these, Bharatnatyam Mudras form a very significant part of this dance form. For that matter any dance form is incomplete without learning the mudras and so is the case in Bharatanatyam. This needs the dance teacher to give special attention to the hand movements and the mudras of the student. Adopting these mudras and learning them will take quite a time and needs to be learnt with enough attention and perfection.
A mudra means a hand gesture which is used in Hinduism, Buddhism and Jainism. From religion, mudras started to get adopted in yoga and other dance forms in the Indian culture to represent a beautiful hand movement which adds to the beauty of dance and add to its gorgeousness.
It helps in depicting various events and expressions in any dance form and also in Bharatanatyam. Without the hand gestures, the learning of this dance form is of no use as every component is essential to make it a complete whole. Hence the trainer should teach the one hand mudras first and then go on to teach students the double hand movements in Bharatanatyam.
Proper guidance and practice are required to learn Bharatnatyam Mudras. Learning Mudras also require the time and dedication of both the teacher and the learner. In this form of Bharatnatyam Mudra, all the finds are kept straight together beckoning someone to pause.

Calvert, L. Wilke, R. Ryman, and I. Applications using computational program. It shows that we can suc- of computers to dance. This is because it assumes that the beats reflect a locally constant inter-beat in- terval. This is not true for all Bharatanatyam Taals, and any two consecutive onsets might have variable time gaps between them. Unequal separation of the onsets The DP solutions leads to the over-detection of beats. This is not acceptable, since we only want good onsets corresponding to salient body postures in the dance.
Hence, we propose the method of local maxima detection. We detect the local maxima in the envelope. The local maxima would correspond to the key postures. Figure 4 shows the detection on onsets for the Utsanga and Tirmana Adavus. Avoiding Over-detection of Local Maxima Naive detection of local max- ima usually leads to over-detection. To avoid this, a given local maximum is considered as a peak if the difference of amplitude with respect to both the pre- vious and successive local minima when they exist is higher than a threshold cthr 0.
This distance is expressed with respect to the total am- plitude of the input signal. A distance of 1, for instance, is equivalent to the distance between the maximum and the minimum of the input signal.
This is implemented from MIRtoolbox [7] and illustrated in Figure 5. Retaining Good Onsets It is important that we represent an Adavu by a minimal set of body key postures. In such cases, we retain the maxima with the higher peak. A maxima with a higher peak corresponds to an onset with higher confidence. Figure 6 b and 6 d show the removal of unwanted local maxima for the Utsanaga and Tirmana Adavu. Hence, given the onset times of beats in the audio stream we can find the corresponding frames frame numbers at the onset times by simple temporal reasoning.
This helps us to validate if the postures selected are actually those at the onsets of the audio signal. Using this tool we select any of the onset points as given by local maxima detection. It then displays the corresponding RGB frame. Figure 7 shows a snapshot of the tool. In total, 74 key posture frames were detected by the system based on the onsets from a total of over frames in 15 videos.
Bharatanatyam experts reviewed and verified that every detected key posture was indeed correct. Independently, the experts were asked to identify key postures in the 15 videos. They manually inspected the frames and extracted key posture frames from the 15 videos including the 74 key postures as detected above. We engaged a dynamic programming approach [3] using the global tempo period uniform inter-beat interval estimate and the onset strength envelope.
We have adapted an algorithm for OSE with detection of local maxima to estimate beats. This does not need the assumption of global tempo period uni- form inter-beat interval as in [3]. Further, we propose heuristics to avoid over- detection of onsets and retain only the good peaks to get a minimal sequence of key postures to represent an Adavu. We have also developed a visualization tool for validation.
So we need to strike a balance be- tween the over-detection of the DP approach and the over-precision of the local maxima method.
