Arangetram/Rangapravesam

 Both these words literally mean “to ascend the stage”; although the word Arangetram is generally associated with the Bharatanatyam graduation and Rangapravesam with Kuchipudi.  It signifies the artiste's maiden public performance and marks the culmination of the first phase of the dancer's career enabling her to grace the stage with solo performances.

Kuchipudi is a traditional Indian classical dance form that hails from the state of Andhra Pradesh. It combines graceful movements, rhythmic footwork, and storytelling through gestures and expressions, often drawing inspiration from Hindu mythology.
