About the Book
This book reconstructs the evolving discourse on dancing in India through an exhaustive comparative study of all available Sanskrit works. It is the first of its kind, offering a deep examination of the historical, theoretical, and performance aspects of Indian dance and drama.
The author, Mandakranta Bose, traces the growth of dance techniques and forms, highlighting how the central tradition of Indian dance expanded through contact with peripheral regional styles, including foreign influences. These interactions eventually led to a synthesis that forms the foundation of present-day classical dances of India.
Bose’s research offers a unique perspective on the Sanskritic tradition, exploring the intertwined evolution of dance and drama in ancient Indian culture. By examining both the historical and theoretical aspects of these art forms, the book provides an in-depth understanding of how they evolved over time and continue to shape modern Indian classical dance.
