In Hinduism
Natyashastra (theatrics and dramaturgy)
Source: Shodhganga: Gati in theory and practiceBhedyaka (भेद्यक) refers to the “group formation of dancers (where-in individuals cannot be identified), according to the Nāṭyaśāstra (chapter IV, commentary p.193.).—[While discussing the elements of Āṅgika-abhinaya (gestural representation) in Nāṭya-śāstra]—Piṇḍībandhas are the group formations of dancers. The piṇḍī attached to the different gods and goddesses are named after their own banners. The origin of piṇḍī is of three fold namely yantṛ (which strings together) bhadrāsana (positions taken by dancers) and śikṣāyoga (exercises based on karaṇas and aṅgahāras). The piṇḍī are of four varieties: piṇḍī (lump), śrṅkhalikā (cluster or chain), latābandha (together like a creeper) and bhedyaka (group formation of dancers where-in individuals cannot be identified)

Sanskrit, also spelled संस्कृतम् (saṃskṛtam), is an ancient language of India commonly seen as the grandmother of the Indo-European language family (even English!). Closely allied with Prakrit and Pali, Sanskrit is more exhaustive in both grammar and terms and has the most extensive collection of literature in the world, greatly surpassing its sister-languages Greek and Latin.
