Source: Wisdom Library: Nāṭya-śāstraPlavaṅgama (प्लवङ्गम) is another name name for Pravaṅga, a country pertaining to the Oḍramāgadhī local usage (pravṛtti) according to the Nāṭyaśāstra chapter 14. It can also be spelled as Plavaṃgama (प्लवंगम). These pravṛttis provide information regarding costumes, languages, and manners in different countries of the world. It is mentioned that this local usage (adopted by these countries) depends on the verbal style (bhāratī) and the graceful style (kaiśikī).
