The year 2007 saw the new definitive coin series of 50 Paise, Re 1 and Rs 2 with the theme "Nritya Mudra". However, The Rs 5 and Rs 10 were issued with the theme "Connectivity and Information Technology".

The 50 Paise depicts the "Mushti", Re 1 depicts "Sikhara" and Rs 2 depicts "Kartari-Mukha" in the gestures of Nritya Mudra.

In Bharatanatyam, the Classical Dance of India performed by Lord Nataraja, approximately fifty-five root mudras (hand/finger gestures) are used to clearly communicate specific ideas, events, actions, or creatures in which thirty-two require only one hand, and are classified as `Asamyuktanamasa Hasta', along with twenty-three other primary mudras which require both hands and are classified as 'Samyukta Hasta'; these fifty-five are the roots but the branches permit of many more mudra, some of which are used primarily as aesthetic or decorative.
