The terms “Tanganam”, “Jagananam”, “Dhaganam”, and “Sammisram” are specific Adavus (basic steps or sequences) used in Kuchipudi dance. Kuchipudi is a classical dance form originating from Andhra Pradesh. While all classical dances have basic units of movement, the specific terminology mentioned belongs to the repertoire of Kuchipudi.

The specific Adavus mentioned (Tanganam, Jagananam, Dhaganam, Sammisram) are characteristic steps of the Kuchipudi classical dance form.

Bharatanatyam also uses ‘Adavus’ extensively, but the terminology for the specific types of steps differs. Each classical dance form has its unique set of foundational steps and movements known by different names (e.g., Adavus in Bharatanatyam/Kuchipudi, Chauka in Manipuri).
