In Hinduism
Natyashastra (theatrics and dramaturgy)
Source: Shodhganga: The significance of the mūla-beras (natya)Tānṭiyam refers to a dance tradition using sticks, as defined in the Pañcamarapu (‘five-fold traditional usage’) which represents an important piece of Tamil literature.—Tānṭiyam is a tradition to garland the bamboo and apply sandal wood powder and fix it on the ground. Kāladi (leg movements or strikes) must move according to kolaṭi (beating of the sticks). Tānṭiyam-piṭittal (to hold the stick) means the inauguration of dance practice. All these practices are still found in use by dance teachers and learners of dance. The stick that is used nowadays by the dance teacher to teach dance is called taṭṭukucci, which means the stick used to strike.
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).
