In Hinduism
Natyashastra (theatrics and dramaturgy)
Source: Shodhganga: Elements of Art and Architecture in the Trtiyakhanda of the Visnudharmottarapurana (natya)The Calyx (of a lotus) is denoted by the Sanskrit term Padmakośa, whereas Padmakośahasta refers to 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 padmakośa means the calyx of a lotus. According to the Viṣṇudharmottarapurāṇa, the top of all fingers are brought together in padmakośahasta and it looks like the nails of a swan. In this regard the Viṣṇudharmottarapurāṇa seems to take a suggested meaning of the word padmakośa and not its etymological meaning which denotes the internal portion of a lotus but not the nails of a swan.
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).
