The study of various gestures of the performer using computer vision techniques can help in better understanding of these dance forms and for annotation purposes. Bharatanatyam is a classical dance that originated in South India. Bharatanatyam performer uses hand gestures (mudras), facial expressions and body movements to communicate to the audience the intended meaning. According to Natyashastra, a classical text on Indian dance, there are 28 Asamyukta Hastas (single-hand gestures) and 23 Samyukta Hastas (Double-hand gestures) in Bharatanatyam. Open datasets on Bharatanatyam dance gestures are not presently available. An exhaustive open dataset comprising of various mudras in Bharatanatyam was created. The dataset consists of 15[Formula: see text]396 distinct single-hand mudra images and 13[Formula: see text]035 distinct double-hand mudra images. In this paper, we explore the dataset using various multidimensional visualization techniques. PCA, Kernel PCA, Local Linear Embedding, Multidimensional Scaling, Isomap, t-SNE and PCA\u2013t-SNE combination are being investigated. The best visualization for exploration of the dataset is obtained using PCA\u2013t-SNE combination. <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1142\/s0219467823500018","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,12,18]],"date-time":"2021-12-18T09:47:22Z","timestamp":1639820842000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Dimensionality Reduction and Visualization of <i>Bharatanatyam Mudras<\/i>"],"prefix":"10.1142","volume":"23","author":[{"given":"R.","family":"Jisha Raj","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Electronics, College of Engineering, Chengannur, Alappuzha District, Kerala-689121, India"}]},{"given":"Smitha","family":"Dharan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Computer Science, College of Engineering, Chengannur, Alappuzha District, Kerala-689121, India"}]},{"given":"T.
