Natyashastra (theatrics and dramaturgy)
: Shodhganga: Elements of Art and Architecture in the Trtiyakhanda of the Visnudharmottarapurana (natya)1) Emotions, Feelings, and Expressions (in Sanskrit drama) are conveyed through Sātvikābhinaya, which represents one of the four divisions of Abhinaya or “ways to convey or represent one’s emotion to others� (in Sanskrit Drama), according to the Viṣṇudharmottarapurāṇa, an ancient Sanskrit text which (being encyclopedic in nature) deals with a variety of cultural topics such as arts, architecture, music, grammar and astronomy.—Sātvikābhinaya that deals with the feelings, emotions and expressions, conveyed by the actors. Flow of tears, horripilation, sweating, throbbing of heart and faultering speech come under the ٱԲⲹ. It is important to note here that in the Nāṭyaśāstra the word 屹ⲹñᲹ첹 is used for the ٱԲⲹ. When the inner ideas of a dramatist are expressed by means of words, gestures, facial expressions and the representation of sattva, those are called 屹. [...]
2) Emotion is associated with Dolā-hasta: one of the thirteen Combined-hand Gestures (in Indian Dramas) (known as ṃyܰٲٲ).—According to the Śabdakalpadruma, DZ means a kind of swing playing stuff, generally stays in gardens and made with wood. When both of the hands are hanging downward in 貹첹 posture it is called DZ. [...] In the Nāṭyaśāstra, the DZhasta posture is said to indicate rush, grief, faint, fit of intoxication, emotion, illness and hit by weapon.

Natyashastra (नाट्यशास्त्र, ṭyśٰ) refers to both the ancient Indian tradition (shastra) of performing arts, (natya—theatrics, drama, dance, music), as well as the name of a Sanskrit work dealing with these subjects.

Bhāva i.e., emotional expression is very important to enhance the beauty of a portrait. In the Viṣṇudharmottarapurāṇa, the necessity of emotional expression through the delineation of sentiments in a Painting is taken into consideration and it is elaborately discussed in the 43rd chapter of the third part of the book.
