In Hinduism
Natyashastra (theatrics and dramaturgy)
: Shodhganga: The significance of the m奴la-beras (natya)Icai or 鈥渕usic鈥� is intimately related to dance. In Icain奴l (book on music), the ascending and descending musical notes of the thirty melodies, which are not in vogue, are well brought out. Some of these songs are handled by the 迟别惫腻谤补尘 (a garland of devotional songs praising 艢iva) saints. The melodies found in the Icain奴l are used nowadays for dance songs. Moreover, the devotional songs sung by the 迟别惫腻谤补尘 saints are also used as devotional pieces in dances.
Natyashastra (啶ㄠぞ啶熰啶ざ啶距じ啷嵿い啷嵿ぐ, 苍腻峁瓂补艣腻蝉迟谤补) refers to both the ancient Indian tradition (shastra) of performing arts, (natya鈥攖heatrics, drama, dance, music), as well as the name of a Sanskrit work dealing with these subjects. It also teaches the rules for composing Dramatic plays (nataka), construction and performance of Theater, and Poetic works (kavya).
