perspective, the morality of people who performed
Bharatanatyam was called into question. Accusations of prostitution were thrown around. Some women from traditionally performing communities were used as a way to showcase obscenity. New reforms disregarded local issues like production of the arts for the sake of liberalism and felt able to impose disruptive reforms that reshaped lives at all levels and subjected people to new standards.

The revival movement moralized devadasis by democratizing the art, while also decorating it with the female performing class.
