Natyashastra (theatrics and dramaturgy)
: Shodhganga: Elements of Art and Architecture in the Trtiyakhanda of the Visnudharmottarapurana (natya)The Ten Incarnations (of lord Vi峁ａ箛u) are denoted by the Sanskrit term Da艣膩vat膩ra, to which are assign various hand gestures (in Indian Dramas), according to the Vi峁ａ箛udharmottarapur膩峁嘺, an ancient Sanskrit text which (being encyclopedic in nature) deals with a variety of cultural topics such as arts, architecture, music, grammar and astronomy.鈥擨n the Hindu scriptures, different stories are found, related to lord Vi峁ａ箛u, where we find the magnanimity of different incarnations of lord Vi峁ａ箛u. Moreover, a great influence of these ten incarnations of lord Vi峁ａ箛u seems to fall in the field of Dance also. In every classical Dance form of India, the 诲补艣腻惫补迟腻谤补-苍峁泃测补 is seen to perform in a graceful way. The gestures and postures used in 诲补艣腻惫补迟腻谤补-苍峁泃测补 are suggestive of the forms of incarnations.
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).
