Natyashastra (theatrics and dramaturgy)
Source: Shodhganga: Elements of Art and Architecture in the Trtiyakhanda of the Visnudharmottarapurana (natya)Children are associated with Ardhacandra-hasta: one of the twenty-two Single-hand Gestures (in Indian Dramas) (known as asaṃyuktahastas), 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.—The posture of ardhacandra-hasta, as stated in the Viṣṇudharmottarapurāṇa is similar with the mayurahasta as found in the Abhinayadarpaṇa. According to the Viṣṇudharmottarapurāṇa, the ardhacandra-hasta is used to show growing moon. Moreover, it also identifies a child, a tree named Tāla, the waist part of a person etc. The acting of putting ear-rings is also showed with this hastamudrā.
Natyashastra (नाट्यशास्त्र, nāṭyaśāstra) 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. It also teaches the rules for composing Dramatic plays (nataka), construction and performance of Theater, and Poetic works (kavya).
