Essence of Dance with riddles (Musical Instruments, Costumes, Jewellery)

Enhancing steps in dance's light.

In rituals and traditions, I'm found,

A liquid adornment, red and profound.

Grace and beauty in every stride,

What am I, worn with pride?

Crowned with silver, intricate and fine, My headgear gleams in a sacred line. From temples' lore, my dance does start, Graceful moves with divine art. Ornate and elegant, atop I sit, In which classical dance do I fit?

A pioneer with movements bold, In dance, a new form did unfold. From the East to West, his art did span, A cultural bridge he built, this man. The first Padma Vibhushan, he proudly won, Who is this legendary son?
