Kathak practitioners made up the highest number of empaneled classical dance artists in India as of 2023. Odissi and Bharatnatyam followed, with over 100 artists each. Through the empanelment, the Indian Council for Cultural Relations promotes and calls on the pool of artists to represent Indian art and culture abroad.
There are eight Indian classical dance forms recognized by the Sangeet Natak Academy, differing in terms of origin and the cultural differences that come with it. Traditionally, they draw from and represent stories and characters from Indian mythological texts.
