Natyashastra (theatrics and dramaturgy)
The Body Parts (in Sanskrit Dramas) are denoted by the Sanskrit term Aṅga and the associated gestures/expressions are conveyed through Āṅgikābhinaya: one of the four divisions of Abhinaya or “ways to convey or represent one’s emotion to others”, according to the Nāṭyaśāstra and 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 āṅgikābhinaya includes the histrionic representation of the limbs which is simply known as physical gestures.
The aṅgas i.e., major classification of the body parts are six in numbers viz.,
- head,
- hands,
- chest,
- sides,
- waist and
- feet.
