Āṅg첹 (आङ्गिक, “physical representation�) consists of the use of various gestures and postures of which the Nāṭyaśāstra gives elaborate descriptions. Different limbs have been named and their manifold gestures and movements described, with various significance attached to each one of them.

Āṅg첹 (‘gestures and postures�) is of three kinds, viz.

  1. that of the limbs (ś),
  2. that of the face (mukhaja)
  3. and that related to [different], movements of the entire body (ṣṭṛt) including the Śākhā, the Aṅga and the Upṅg.
