Kathak dance has a rich and diverse history, and its origins are attributed to both Hindu and Muslim influences.

 

- Hindu roots: Kathak originated in ancient India, with roots in Hindu temple dances, folk theater, and storytelling traditions.

- Muslim influence: During the Mughal Empire (1526-1858), Kathak was patronized and influenced by Muslim rulers, particularly in the courts of Akbar, Jahangir, and Shah Jahan.

- Sufi and Bhakti movements: Kathak was also shaped by Sufi and Bhakti devotional movements, which emphasized love, spirituality, and storytelling through music and dance.

 

The Lucknow Gharana of Kathak, one of the two main schools, was heavily influenced by Muslim culture and courtly traditions. The Jaipur Gharana, on the other hand, has stronger roots in Hindu and Rajasthani folk traditions.

 

In summary, Kathak dance has a syncretic history, with contributions from both Hindu and Muslim cultures, reflecting the rich cultural diversity of India.

Kathak teachers also shifted to training boys to preserve the tradition, as most of the 20th-century ridicule had been directed at Kathak "nautch girls". Kathak was brought to the attention of audiences outside India in the early 20th century through Kalkaprasad Maharaj.
