In Swara Pallavi, for the first time, a melody is introduced which the dancer illustrates through her movements. The dancer executes movements that follow the sound patterns of the swaras in the raga. Pallavi literally means a new leaf. It is a pure dance item , that is , a nritta piece with an emphasis on hand gesturs. When it is executed in a very slow tempo, then it is called the illustration of the alăp, but it may also be executed in a medium or faster tempo.
