Best Answer

Kathak was formed later on, and the dance forms are different. They both offer devotion to the divine, but at least for kathak, you could be atheist and still be complete with the art. In kathak, you are dancing to the divine and spirit in yourself, and the universe, be that "god", or just a feeling. "We practice religiously to reach a state of spirituality", to reach a state of Om. Bharatnatyam is more of a temple dance, but can be seen in the same manner. The posture in bharatnatyam is slightly more rigid, and you were ghungru (or at least more ghungru) in kathak
