I was pleasantly surprised to learn that Kathak performances have regularly been held at the Nataraja temple at Chidambaram which is in TN. Kathak, of course, originated in UP. A good article on Kathak is this one:

I understand that if ketamine is injected into one half of the brain of a rooster, it starts to rotate around like what you see in Kathak. So, was kathak invented by some neurologist (or a psychiatrist?) in ancient times?

is what you are saying now in harmony with what Advaita Vedanta (which you claim to follow) teaches? Is this what you learnt after all your study of Vedas, Upanisads, and writings of Adi Sankara?

UP-TN synthesis is as real as the Ketamine-Kathak fusion. That was my point.
