Source: Wisdom Library: Nāṭya-śāstra

Āhārya (आहार्य) refers to “costumes and make-up” and forms a part of abhinaya (techniques of representation), according to the Nāṭyaśāstra chapter 8. Abhinaya is used in communicating the meaning of the drama (nāṭya) and calling forth the sentiment (rasa).

Āharya (आहर्य) or āharyābhinaya refers to the first of four categories of abhinaya (histrionic representation). Āharya deals with costumes, ornaments, make-up and decorations. Abhinaya is the imitation of the thing seen by self or is an expression of sentiment experienced by oneself.

Āhārya (आहार्य) or Āhāryābhinaya refers to 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.—Abhinaya (“acting”) is of four varieties, according to the Viṣṇudharmottarapurāṇa. Āhārya-abhinaya is conveyed by decoration or ornamentation. In the Nāṭyaśāstra, it is said that the entire production of a play depends on āhārya-abhinaya and the extraneous representation deals with the rules of costumes and make-up. Till today, this process is followed and the actors go for their make-up in the greenroom which is generally situated in the back stage.
