In Hinduism
Natyashastra (theatrics and dramaturgy)
1) Beards and Moustaches (in Indian Dramas) are conveyed through the Aṅgaracanā division of Āhāryābhinaya: one of the four divisions of Abhinaya or “ways to convey or represent one’s emotion to others”, 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.—Aṅgaracanā meaning painting of limbs of different characters, also falls under the category of makeover. [...] Applying of moustaches and beard can be called an important make-up in facial decoration. The Nāṭyaśāstra says that after painting the face and other limbs the characters are provided with beard according to their territory, profession and spiritual rites.
2) Beards were commonly classified into three types in the Tadi kind of Kathakalī theater of Kerala.—The facial make-over of the characters of Kūṭiyaṭṭam and Kathakalī has been categorised according to the taste of an individual actor and the school of tradition to which it belongs.—Uses of different kinds of beard are noticed in Kathakalī which is known as Tadi. Three kinds of beard are used in Kathakalī, which are Veluppa Tadi (white beard), Cokanna Tadi (red beard) and Karuppa Tadi (black beard).
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).
