In Hinduism
Natyashastra (theatrics and dramaturgy)
The Needle is denoted by the Sanskrit term Sūcī, whereas Sūcyāsyahasta refers to one of the twenty-two Single-hand Gestures (in Indian Dramas) (known as asaṃyuktahastas), 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 sūcī means a tool which is used for stitching. It refers to the needle. According to the Viṣṇudharmottarapurāṇa in sūcyāsyahasta, the tarjanī finger is extended in khaṭakāmukha-hasta. When the tarjanī is extended in sūcī posture, it looks like pointing something with the forefinger.
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).
