This dataset is taken from https://www.kaggle.com/datasets/aditya48/indian-dance-form-classification but is originally from the Hackerearth deep learning contest of identifying Indian dance forms. All the credits of dataset goes to them.

### Content

The dataset consists of 599 images belonging to 8 categories, namely manipuri, bharatanatyam, odissi, kathakali, kathak, sattriya, kuchipudi, and mohiniyattam. The original dataset was quite unstructured and all the images were put together. I have organized it in their respective directories so that the process of preparing training data becomes easier.
