💡 Our Recommendation for Arangetram Dancers
When selecting a Chutty for an Arangetram, we always advise our students to consider how it frames the face and enhances their expressions. This specific design, with its elongated form and prominent circular pendant, is particularly effective for accentuating the forehead and central parting, drawing focus to the eyes – a critical aspect of Bharatanatyam. Ensure the thread is tied snugly but comfortably, allowing for full head movement.
