In Hinduism
Natyashastra (theatrics and dramaturgy)
Source: HAL: The Karpūramañjarī and its successorsSaṭṭaka (सट्टक) is a hybrid genre of classical Indian theater (saṃkīrṇa-rūpaka), related to another similar genre, nāṭikā. Both are love comedies in four acts, characterized by the use of numerous female characters, as well as the abundant use of dancing, singing and music. The ending is always happy, as we find in the Ratnāvalī and the Priyadarśikā of Harṣa (7th century, Kannauj). Because of this musical aspect and the cheerfulness represented by these hybrid genres, nāṭikā has been noted among the ten great dramatic genres (rūpaka) in treatises on Indian theatrical art, and has enjoyed great popularity within royal courts.
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).
