The name Bharatnatyam is gotten from the word "Bharata’s" and subsequently connected with the Natyashashtra. Though the style of Bharatnatyam is over two thousand years old, the freshness and lavishness of its embodiment has been held even today. The strategy of human development which Bharatnatyam takes after can be followed back to the fifth Century A.D. from sculptural proof. This established move has an entrancing impact as it inspires the artist and the spectator to a larger amount of profound cognizance.

  • Preservation of Kathiawari Folk Literature and Arts
    Indian Journal of Traditional Knowledge Vol. 8 (4), October 2009, pp. 626-628 Preservation of Kathiawari folk literature and arts Puffy I Dave Department of Extension Education, College of Agriculture, Junagadh Agricultural University, Junagadh 362 001 Gujarat E-mail: [email protected] Received 13 July 2007; revised 12 June 2008 Kathiawar, known as Saurashtra region in Gujarat, is rich in its cultural heritage of folk arts and literature. The folk dances of Kathiawar like dandiya raas, garba , etc. folk music like bhajans, dohas , etc, litterateurs like Zaverchand Meghani, Narsinh Mehta, Bhoja Bhagat, Dulabhai Kag, etc. have occupied a prominent place in the world of folk arts and literature. The tales and poems are still enjoyed by people, when presented by folk artists in Lok Dayora (a gathering where people are entertained by folk artists). Even Bhavais (street plays) are performed telling them the stories of our great epics; today these street plays are performed to awaken citizens with their rights. This folk heritage is now moving towards extinction as today our youths are drawn towards western culture and arts. There is an urgent need for preservation of dying Kathiawari art forms and literature. Special care should be taken for the upliftment of the folk artists. Keywords : Extinction, Prevention, Folk art & literature Kathiawar, officially known as Saurashtra, was named richness and life force of folk literature of Kathiawar. after the Kathi community, who ruled for long in this The rich tradition of folk literature of Kathiawar is region.

    This page uses content from Wikipedia and is licensed under CC BY-SA. Natya Shastra The Nāṭya Śāstra (Sanskrit: नाट्य शा , Nāṭyaśāstra) is a Sanskrit Hindu text on the performing arts. [1][2] The text is attributed to sage Bharata Muni, and its first complete compilation is dated to between Part of a series on 200 BCE and 200 CE,[3][4] but estimates vary between 500 BCE and 500 CE.[5] Hindu scriptures and texts The text consists of 36 chapters with a cumulative total of 6000 poetic verses describing performance arts. The subjects covered by the treatise include dramatic composition, structure of a play and the construction of a stage to host it, genres of acting, body movements, make up and costumes, role and goals of an art director, the musical scales, musical instruments and the integration of music with art performance.[6][7] Shruti [2][8] The Nāṭya Śāstra is notable as an ancient encyclopedic treatise on the arts, one which has Smriti influenced dance, music and literary traditions in India.[9] It is also notable for its aesthetic "Rasa" theory, which asserts that entertainment is a desired effect of performance arts but not the primary Vedas goal, and that the primary goal is to transport the individual in the audience into another parallel reality, full of wonder, where he experiences the essence of his own consciousness, and reflects on spiritual and Rigveda moral questions.[8][10] The text has inspired secondary literature such as Sanskrit bhasya (reviews and Samaveda commentaries) such as by the 10th century Abhinavagupta.[11]

  • Navratri and Dandiya Raas in the Indus Valley? by Bibhu Dev Misra 14 March, 2016
    Navratri and Dandiya Raas in the Indus Valley? By Bibhu Dev Misra 14 March, 2016 The Kalibangan cylinder seal K‐65 has a complex imagery. An impression of the seal shows two men dressed as warriors (since they are wearing their hair in a divided bun at the back of the head) spearing each other. They are holding the hand of a lady who is wearing a long head‐scarf, bangles in one arm, and a long skirt. Behind them is a woman partially dressed as a tiger, wearing a horned headdress with a leafy branch, head‐scarf, bangles, and a long skirt. Fig 1: The Impression of Kalibangan cylinder seal K‐65 shows two warriors spearing each other, and holding the hand of a lady, while a woman dressed as a tiger stands nearby. At first glance it appears that the two men, who are dressed as warriors, are fighting over a lady. But if that were the case, why is the woman dressed as a tiger standing next to them? She looks completely out of place in a fighting scene. It seems more likely that the seal imagery is a depiction of a martial dance with spears performed by the Indus inhabitants. Traces of such cultural practices are still present within the various folk and tribal traditions of India. Many tribal groups of Chhattisgarh such as the Gonds, Baigas, Ahirs and others perform a post‐ harvest dance called the Saila dance. The Saila is a martial dance with fast and vigorous movements, predominantly performed by men, although women also take part.
