It is one of the two kinds of dramatic representation, also called dharmī, or dharmin.
Source: archive.org: Natya ShastraNāṭyadharmī (“conventional”) is a devision of the technical practice of the production of a play—If a play modifies a traditional story, introduces supernatural powers, disregards the usual practice about the use of languages, and requires acting with graceful Aṅgahāras, and possesses characteristics of dance, and requires conventional enunciation and is dependent on a heavenly scene and heaven-born males, it is to be known as Conventional (nāṭyadharmī).
