In 1932, E Krishna Iyer and Rukmini Devi Arundale put forward a proposal to rename Sadiraattam, also known as Parathaiyar Aattam or Thevarattam as "Bharatanatyam", to give the dance form a measure of respect, at a meeting of the Madras Music Academy. The word Bharata is also seen as a backronym, with bha standing for bhava, ra for raga, and ta for tala. Thus resulting in பரத(parata) + நாட்டியம்(nāṭṭiyam, “dance”, from Sanskritनाट्य(nāṭya)).
