Description

The Kemp nose ring is a traditional South Indian ornament commonly worn during Bharatanatyam performances. It is typically crafted with gold-plated metal and adorned with red and green Kemp stones, which reflect the grandeur and grace of temple jewelry. This nose ring complements the dancer’s elaborate costume and facial makeup, enhancing her expressions (abhinaya) and stage presence.

In Bharatanatyam, every ornament holds symbolic and aesthetic value. The Kemp nose ring not only adds to the visual appeal but also connects the dancer to the divine and cultural roots of the art form. It reflects tradition, elegance, and the timeless beauty of classical Indian dance.
