Latābandha (लताबन्ध) refers to the “creeper” type of Piṇḍībandha (group formations of dancers), 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)
