Source: Shodhganga: Elements of Art and Architecture in the Trtiyakhanda of the Visnudharmottarapurana (natya)Make-up and Costume (in Indian Dramas) are included in the division of Āhāryābhinaya: one of the four divisions of Abhinaya or “ways to convey or represent one’s emotion to others”, 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.—Costume and make up are the two important concerns of a Drama which transforms the actors according to their respective roles. In the Nāṭyaśāstra, Bharata advises to pay attention in costume and make-up for a healthy and successful dramatic production. Different kinds of dramatic characters are initially indicated by their attire and make up which represent them in front of the viewers without any effort.
According to the Viṣṇudharmottarapurāṇa, There are four kinds of costume and make up viz.,
- prasta,
- alaṃkāra,
- aṅgaracanā and
- sajjīva.
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).
