In Hinduism

Natyashastra (theatrics and dramaturgy)

Kohalīya (कोहलीय) refers to one of the works ascribed to Kohala—a celebrated authority of the ancient period along with others such as Bharata, Yāṣṭika, Śārdūla, Kāśyapa etc.—Kohala, though a contemporary of Bharata is believed to be one of the pioneering ācaryas of the deśī tradition. He was not just an Ācārya but was also an accomplished actor himself. [...] Information about works attributed to Kohala is found in lakṣaṇagranthas over a period of time. In addition, there are some works which are still in manuscript form. Thus, the works attributed to Kohala can be divided into two categories. One being works available to us from primary sources (manuscripts) and the other representing works which we come to know from secondary sources [e.g., the Kohalīya] (other works which refer to them).
