Geometry and Trigonometry 

the 108 karanas (synchronised movement) of hands and feet, sthanakas- (foot and leg postures), and hastas- (hand gestures) all adhere to the rule of mathematics. They rely on the momentum of the body or body part to supply the necessary movement in angle and velocity by providing precise pressure and tension. There is no margin for error.

Speed and Velocity 

There are different speeds in Bharatnatyam as listed below
