In Hinduism
Natyashastra (theatrics and dramaturgy)
1) Showing (the head) is associated with the Pārśvakṛta variety of Sandaṃśahasta: 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 sandaṃśa means kaṅkamukha i.e., a pair of tong. Tong is a kind of tool which is used to hold something. [...] The Viṣṇudharmottarapurāṇa speaks of three kinds this form viz., agraja, mukhaja and pārśvakṛta and it gives detailed discussion of the usages of each one clearly. There are many uses of pārśvakṛta-sandaṃśa-hasta type viz., colouring of picture, pressing of breast, showing of head etc.
2) Showing (the body parts) is also associated with Avahittha-hasta: one of the thirteen Combined-hand Gestures (known as saṃyuktahastas).—According to the Viṣṇudharmottarapurāṇa, in avahittha posture both hands are kept in śukatuṇḍa posture and placed on the chest. The head part of both hands should be bent gradually and downwards. This posture is used to denote weakness, fast breathing and showing the body parts.[41]
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).
