More references can be found in the 1502 AD document ‘Manchupali Kaifiat’ when a group of Bhagavatulus had an audience with the Vijayanagara ruler Narasimha Nayaka, the ruler of Vijayanagra. In ‘Nritta Ratnavali’ written by Jaya Senapati, a commander-in-chief under the Kakatiya ruler Ganapati Deva there is a record of a ‘Brahmana Melam’ one of the traditional families of Kuchipudi dancers. From 11th century onwards one can find a mention of Kuchipudi in important treatises like ‘Manasollasa’ of King Someshwara, Nandi Deva’s ‘Sarasvati Hridayalankara’, Ahobala’s ‘Sangita Parijata’ and ‘Sangita Choodamani’ by Pratapa Chakravarti. Near theAmaravati Stupa a whole group of dancers in ‘Pindibandha’ are carved in stone. The earlier evidences of dance in the Telugu speaking regions of upper Andhra are at the 2nd century Buddhist settlements of Amaravati and Nagarjuna Konda. A more confirmed history of Kuchipudi dance in its present form could be found around the 16th century.

Essentially a dance-drama format of performance, Kuchipudi began as an all-male performing art of Brahmin boys.

No other dance form takes the name of its native village with such pride like Kuchipudi does. Among all the ancient Indian classical dance forms, Kuchipudi is the only one associated with the place of its origin.
