This volume is the result of many years of pain staking research in a field, which had been neglected by art historians, and thus presenting an idealistic view of the whole tradition of Indian art and aesthetics. This definitive work on the inherent interrelationship of the Indian arts is a path-breaking endeavour, treading into a domain which no one had explored. For that to happen, the author has delved deep into enormous mass of literature on the subject and has also surveyed the portrayal of dance figures in ancient temples. With Dr Kapila Vatsyayan’s profound knowledge of various dance forms as a performing artist of her own standing and having studied the sculptures and artefacts minutely, the book emerges so scholarly emanating the wisdom and know-how of a persona, endowed with the unique combination of a researcher, an art historian and an aesthetician par excellence. The book vividly presents, analyses and critiques the varied facets of Indian aesthetics, especially the theory and technique of classical Indian dance, while doing a penetrating study of interrelationship that dancing has with literature, sculpture and music. In doing so, it surveys and analyses the contribution of great Sanskrit authors, theoreticians, playwrights of ancient and classical India such as Bharata, Bhāsa, Kālidāsa, Śūdraka, Bhavabhūti, Abhinavagupta, Jayadeva and many more along with numerous Bhāṣā scholars of arts, aesthetics and literature, covering each and every nook and corner of the Indian subcontinent. This highly scholarly work should invoke keen enthusiasm among Sanskritists, art historians, dancers and students of varied art forms alike, and should pave the way for ongoing researches on all the topics covered within its scope.

The classical performing arts of India, with millenniaof antecedents, languished during the colonial periodand were revitalised during India s pre-Independenceconscious reclaiming of heritage. The efforts of manygreat individuals in sustaining and reconstructingtraditions played a vital role in contributing to this vitalaspect of national identity. Post Independence, thesearts contributed to a sense of national integration asthey were embraced by exponents from regions andcommunities beyond the original parameters of location,language, religion or caste. The last quarter of a centuryhas seen these classical genres draw increasing numbersof exponents from beyond India s borders and widelydiverse communities within India. Artists are drawn to aparticular aesthetic genre because of inner resonance withthe form, which crosses boundaries of region and evennationality. The sadhana of an artist is inherently difficultand success of a performer is uncertain but many of theleading Western classical Ballet and Modern dancers arefrom Asia, traditional Indian classical dance forms are alsobecoming international as boundaries fall between bordersand art.

Indian theatre is at least as old as the Indus valley civilization which, in the light of its extended reach disclosed by archaeological explorations in recent years, is emerging as a Ganga valley civilization as well. The coming together of many peoples, the interaction of many cultural traditions, and the evolution of regional specificities in cultural expression, have given India a rich and varied legacy comparable, not to that of any one country of Europe, but to the heritage of that continent in its entirety. Presentation of a total picture will be an encyclopaedic task of the future. Here an effort has been made to focus attention particularly on the unexplored areas of Indian theatrical traditions. The author has succeeded in shedding new light on many crucial aspects about which there have till now been uncertainties or serious misconceptions. The ten essays in the book, scanning a mass of literary, epigraphical and archaeological material, constitute a scholarly exploration. They tell of very early forms of theatrical arts, the way in which they were performed, the role of the temple in their development, the early theatre halls, the ancient amphitheatre unearthed by the archaeologist’s spade, the unique tradition of female theatre, the relationship between the performing artistes and the state and the various art traditions that influenced the evolution of the theatre. Of special interest is the material on Indian folk theatre which has an ancient tradition
