In Hinduism
Natyashastra (theatrics and dramaturgy)
Source: Shodhganga: The significance of the mūla-beras (natya)Patinoraṭal refers to “eleven dances” that were performed in a vettiyal (royal dance) by Madavi (Madhavi) in the presence of Chola King Karikala, as mentioned in the Araṅkeṟṟukāṭai which is a chapter of the Cilappatikāram: an ancient epic authored by Ilango Adigal representing an important piece of Tamil literature.—From the references it is clear that around the 2nd century AD, during the time of Cilappatikāram, the eleven dance forms (patinoraṭal) were performed in a vettiyal (a kind of dance performed in the presence of a king). It is also understood that each dance had its own composition of songs; and the songs which synchronized with the dance were limited within its rhythm and systematized according to the musical forms of the dances.
Kaṭalāṭukkāṭai speaks of the eleven dances of the gods and the goddesses in the sixth canto. The eleven dances were danced by Madavi in the Indra Vila (the festival celebrating the victory of Indra). After praising Viṣṇu, four Varuna-bhutas and Tiṅkal (moon in the sky, moving for the benefit of others), the patinoraṭal (eleven dances) is said to begin.
