Natyashastra (theatrics and dramaturgy)
Source: Shodhganga: Elements of Art and Architecture in the Trtiyakhanda of the Visnudharmottarapurana (natya)Danger (and Cold) is associated with Kapota-hasta: one of the thirteen Combined-hand Gestures (in Indian Dramas) (known as saṃyuktahastas), 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 word kapota means pigeon in Sanskrit. When the sides of two hands are joined together it is looked like a pigeon with its wings. In the Viṣṇudharmottarapurāṇa this hand posture is called as kapotahasta and it is used to show cold and danger. But in the Abhinayadarpaṇa, this posture is said to use in salutation, addressing teachers, polite acceptance or agreement.
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).
