Can someone explain to me the red on her fingertips? Is it purely for the look of it or is there a significance to it?

[savithasastry]

@seattlegrobanite the 'red' is from a dye called 'altha' and it accentuates the hand gestures used in this art form

Perfect. ♥

What is beautiful is that you have no distracting mannerisms. I am a dancer myself and have also taught for many years. Normally dancers have movements and some unwanted abhinaya. By refraining from those, you have kept the viewers' interest on just the dance. That is immensely commendable.
