Priya's grandmother had danced Bharatanatyam in Chennai's ancient temples for decades, earning barely enough. When Priya posted videos of their traditional practice, something shifted. The platform's algorithm recognized artistry. Suddenly, heritage became currency. She watched her grandmother's mudras reach thousands, generating income that honored their craft.

The dance was home.
