Intangible Prim Media 868 History The theoretical foundations of Bharatanatyam are found in Natya Shastra, the ancient Hindu text of performance arts.[6][17][18] Natya Shastra is attributed to the ancient scholar Bharata Muni, and its first complete compilation is dated to between 200 BCE and 200 CE,[19][20] but estimates vary between 500 BCE and 500 CE.[21] The most studied version of the Natya Shastra text consists of about 6000 verses structured into 36 chapters.[19][22] The text, states Natalia Lidova, describes the theory of Tāṇḍava dance (Shiva), the theory of rasa, of bhāva, expression, gestures, acting techniques, basic steps, standing postures—all of which are part of Indian classical dances.[19][23] Dance and performance arts, states this ancient text,[24] are a form of expression of spiritual ideas, virtues and the essence of scriptures.
