In Hinduism
Natyashastra (theatrics and dramaturgy)
Source: Shodhganga: The significance of the mūla-beras (natya)Vekuli (anger) refers to one of the nine rasas (sentiment), as defined in the first book of the Pañcamarapu (‘five-fold traditional usage’) which deals with niruttam (dance, one of the sixty–four arts) and represents an important piece of Tamil literature.—Vekuli (anger) is defined as physical handicap, the king getting high tax from the people, murdering, ignoring their duties the government officials illtreating the people. These nine rasas are exhibited through three characters namely, the sāttvika, rājasa and tāmasa.
Vekuli (anger) also represents one of the eight aspects of Meyppāṭu, or “physical manifestations of moods/emotions”, as defined in the Tolkāppiyam (2nd century BC): a source book on linguistic and grammatical study, social anthropology, psychology and cultural ecology, representing an important piece of Tamil literature.—Meyppāṭu is the integrated psychophysical activity expressive of emotions [viz., Vekuli] evoked by dramatic performance or perception of poetry. It is intended to express the inner feelings (emotions) through tears, enthrallment, sweating, and shivering, so that others can understand their feelings. The physical manifestation of emotions through the physique is known as meyppāṭu.
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).
India history and geography

Zvelebil, Lexicon of Tamil Literature, E.J. Brill, Leiden, 1995, pp. 165-66.—The nine teachers [e.g., Vekuli-nātar] are considered representative of great teachers in this tradition or Parampara tradition—a succession of Teachers (Gurus) and Disciples (Shishyasa) in Indian-origin religions such as Hinduism, Jainism, Sikhism and Buddhism.
The history of India traces the identification of countries, villages, towns and other regions of India, as well as mythology, zoology, royal dynasties, rulers, tribes, local festivities and traditions and regional languages. Ancient India enjoyed religious freedom and encourages the path of Dharma, a concept common to Buddhism, Hinduism, and Jainism.
