Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is 'Step Chutty' and its significance in Bharatanatyam?
A: Step Chutty, part of original temple jewellery, is an integral ornament worn around the dancer's feet in Bharatanatyam. It accentuates the Aramandi posture and rhythmic footwork (Nritta), enhancing the visual appeal of steps like Tattadavu and Natadavu. It's crucial for performances and Arangetram.
Q: How should I care for my 'Step Chutty | Original Temple Jewellery' to maintain its luster?
A: To maintain the brilliance of your Step Chutty, gently wipe it with a soft, dry cloth after each use to remove sweat and oils. Store it in a dry, airtight container, ideally with anti-tarnish strips. Avoid contact with perfumes, hairsprays, and harsh chemicals, as these can damage the gold plating and stones.
Q: Is the 'Step Chutty | Original Temple Jewellery' adjustable for different ankle sizes?
A: Our Step Chutty is designed with adjustable dori (strings) to accommodate a range of ankle sizes, ensuring a comfortable and secure fit for dancers of various ages and body types. Ensure the dori is tied firmly, yet comfortably, to allow for full range of Aramandi and movements during performances.
Q: Can the 'Step Chutty | Original Temple Jewellery' be used for other Indian classical dance forms besides Bharatanatyam?
A: While primarily designed for Bharatanatyam, the Step Chutty can be adapted for other South Indian classical dance forms like Kuchipudi that utilize similar footwork and aesthetics. However, consider the specific traditions and costume requirements of each dance form before use.
