There are a few centers of sacredness, which are held at high esteem by the ardent devotees who dream to travel and worship God in these holy places. All these holy sites have some mythological significance attached to them. When people go to a temple, they say they go for Darsan – of the image of the presiding deity. The pinnacle act of Hindu worship is to stand in the presence of the deity and to look upon the image so as to see and be seen by the deity and to gain the blessings. There are thousands of Siva sthalams- pilgrimage sites - renowned for their divine images. And it is for the Darsan of these divine images as well the pilgrimage places themselves - which are believed to be the natural places where Gods have dwelled - the pilgrimage is made.

Email:[email protected] Contact: 08974543711 Abstract: The current study attempted to trace the development of the Manipuri Dance from a historical perspective. The origin of Manipuri Dance which is interwoven by various social and cultural values can be traced back to early period of history which again had linked to mythology of excellent metaphysical stories. Further, the paper also discusses on the role of artists. It is to be noted that when artists only in accordance with their benefactors and for earning income only in business motives, it is an unruly act of defaming the innate values of the art. Just to reap the rightmost fruits of any art, the artist has the responsibility of obeying the required qualities of being a true artist. An artist has to know the inner beauty that only refined persons can feel of the particular art and for dance it is the first and foremost task of any dancer. With the understanding of the underlying intrinsic value of the art, an artist then can begin to learn vibrant facets of the art by keeping in touch with the teachers who can impart them the in-depth education of the particular art.

  • The Tradition of Kuchipudi Dance-Dramas1
    The Tradition of Kuchipudi Dance-dramas1 Sunil Kothari The Historical Background Of the many branches of learning which flourished in Andhra from very early ti.mes not the least noteworthy is the tradition of the Natyashastra, embracing the tw1n arts of music and dance. The Natyashastra mentions the Andhra region m connection with a particular style of dance in the context of the Vritti-s. Bharata refers to Kaishiki Vrittt: a delicate and graceful movement in the dance of this reg1on .2 A particular raga by the name of Andhri was the contribution of this region to the music of India. The dance traditions in Andhra can be traced to various sources. The ancient temples, the Buddhist ruins excavated at Nagarjunakonda, Amaravati, Ghantasala, Jagayyapet and Bhattiprole indicate a flourishing dance tradition in Andhra. Of these the Amaravati stupa relics are the most ancient dating back to the second century B.C.3 They reveal the great choreographic possibilities of group and composite dances called pind1bandha-s, mentioned by Bharata and on which Abhinavagupta gives a detailed commentary in Abhinava Bharat1: 4 The history of dance, divided into two periods for the sake of convenience on account of the continuity of the Sanskrit and the later development of the vernacular regional languages, admits of two broad limits : from the second century B.C. to the ninth century A.D. and from the tenth century A.D. to the eighteenth century A.D. The latter period coincides with the growth of various regional styles and with the development of the tradition of Kuchipudi dance­ dramas.

  • Men in Dance with Special Emphasis on Kuchipudi, a South Indian
    Men in Dance with Special Emphasis on Kuchipudi, a South Indian Classical Dance Tradition Presented at International Word Congress of Dance Research By Rajesh Chavali (MA Kuchipudi) Introduction India is a country of diverse languages, religions, cultures and castes, all assimilated seamlessly with great integrity. We must acknowledge this is not a political decision but rather a course of evolution and history. A historic perspective of ancient India with several invasions and rulers of India that didn’t belong to that land influenced a lot of what we see in todays’ India. As we can imagine and nothing out of ordinary, India has seen several intrinsic and extrinsic influences including socioeconomic condition, political influences, power struggle, hierarchy in the caste system, acceptance of the roles of man and woman in the social ecosystem, development and adoption of a variety of religions and philosophical schools of thoughts. For the scope of the current paper at this congress, I’ll focus briefly on these influences and how Indian dances evolved over time and will present more detailed discussion of origin of Kuchipudi, a south Indian classical dance form as a male tradition in Indian classical dance history to its current state. Extrinsic and Intrinsic Influences on Developing India over the Years India, as a country, has undergone several political invasions, major influencers being Mughal and British invasions. The existing cultural dances of India (classical or other non-classical forms or non-classical forms of those times that later attained classical status) in parts of the country were heavily influenced by these invasions while the relatively untouched or inaccessible parts of India, such as northeast part of India largely retained their identity.

  • Shiva Nataraja: a Study in Myth, Iconography, and the Meaning of a Sacred Symbol
    Shiva Nataraja: A Study in Myth, Iconography, and the Meaning of a Sacred Symbol Richard Stromer, Ph.D. O you the creator, you the destroyer, you who sustain and make an end, Who in sunlight dance among the birds and the children at play, Who at midnight dance among the corpses in the burning grounds, You, Shiva, you dark and terrible Bhairava, You Suchness and Illusion, the Void and All Things, You are the lord of life, and therefore I have brought you flowers; You are the lord of death, and therefore I have brought you my heart— This heart that is now your burning ground. Ignorance there and self shall be consumed with fire. That you may dance, Bhairava, among the ashes. That you may dance, Lord Shiva, in a place of flowers, And I dance with you. (Huxley, 167) The image of the Hindu divinity Shiva dancing within a giant ring of fire is among the most beloved and awe-inspiring symbols of the Hindu conception of the nature of the cosmos. Indeed, at the heart of this powerful sacred image, we find a symbolic distillation of the essence of Hindu spiritual consciousness. In the introduction to his massive text on contemporary Hinduism, entitled Dancing with Siva, Satguru Sivaya Subramuniyaswami observes that “the Cosmic Dance describes the Hindu view of existence,” and that for Hindus “Dancing with Siva is everything we do, everything we think and say and feel, from our seeming birth to our so-called death. It is God and man forever engaged in sacred movement” (xviii).

  • Yakshagana Natakwala Fakir Abstract the Present Paper Deals With
    Yakshagana Natakwala Fakir Abstract The present paper deals with Yakshagana, a folk form of South India. The research is historical, exploratory and aesthetic in nature. It finds out the different significances of the idioms of the art form. Keywords: Yakshagana, Folk, Natyasastra, Theatre Introduction Yakshagana, like Kutiyattam and Kathakali, follows the Natyasastra tradition by evolving a theatrical technique which is harmonious balance among the four types of abhinaya (enacting): the Vacika, with the recitative sung verse and pure prose passages; the angika, having a well formulated system of stylized gaits(gatis)classified according to character or animal, bird or human situation and mood,and patterns and clusters of movement which are set to seven material circles of the talas; the aharya, with its elaborate and intricate costuming headgear and make up conventions; and the sattvika which sets the internal mood pervading the moral and the ethical tone of the dramatic piece. It has the element of Tandava and Lasya and follow the conventions of Natyadharmi in exits and entries and in the establishment of locale through its several choreographical patterns and floor designs. Theatre Street Journal Vol.2, No.1 27 March 2018 ISSN 2456-754X Page 68 After one has examined these structural and stylized features, there is little that is left in the Yakshaganaa which can be considered as pure folk, in the sense that it can be taken as untutored, unlearned and spontaneous. Kapila Vatsayan: Traditional Indian Theatre Multiple Stream. Significance of the form Yakshagana is a uniquely traditional form of dance theatre of the state of Karnataka, with a formidable classical background.
