In Hinduism
Natyashastra (theatrics and dramaturgy)
: Shodhganga: The significance of the m奴la-beras (natya)笔腻惫补颈-腻峁璦濒 refers to a kind of dance that was practised in ancient Tamil society.鈥擟a峁卥am (Sa峁単am) literature provides the information that the members of the royal family, along with the poets, practised the art of dancing. The dance forms referred to in Ca峁卥am literature are 笔腻惫补颈-腻峁璦濒 (dance bringing out the killing of the Asuras by Lak峁墨 when she assumed the form of Kollipp膩vai), [... etc.]. The above references point to the fact that different dance forms existed and were prevalent in Tamil society during the Ca峁卥am period.
The Sa峁単am (Ca峁卥am) literature is aptly regarded as the crown of Tamil literature. The ancient works, Pattup膩峁弓u (a collection of ten ancient Tamil poems) and E峁弓utokai (the eight anthologies of the Ca峁卥am period) give details about the art of dance in the Ca峁卥am period [mentioned, for example, 笔腻惫补颈-腻峁璦濒].
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).
