Significance of Conventional practice
Conventional practice encompasses commonly accepted standards and behaviors in society that, if violated, can lead to disputes. In the context of Natyashastra, it involves a dramatic approach that enhances traditional narratives with elements of supernatural power and expressive gestures. This method includes stylized acting and a departure from realistic storytelling, allowing for artificial elements and stylistic conventions in drama, which are recognized within Hindu theater. Thus, conventional practice plays a crucial role in shaping artistic expression in this cultural context.
