Description

India, an ancient country known for her variety of climates, customs, languages and literature, has a long and glorious dramatic tradition of her own. It is difficult to trace the origin of the Indian theatre and determine the exact date of its commencement. Though there are controversies in this regard among scholars. It is conjectured may guess that the classical Sanskrit Drama probably originated from the folk theatre of the country as a sophisticated form and, in course of time, both went on borrowing from each other and developed. Whatever the original of the classical drama, the existence of Bharata's "Natyasastra", a treatise on dramaturgy, which is said to belong to the third century A.D. is a clear proof of the existence of drama in a developed form in atleast five or six centuries preceding it and the art of drama was given the status of veda. The great author prescribes not only the stage worthy things which are both entertaining and didactic, but also the qualifications for the audience. The most interesting point which Bharata makes concerns his experience in his first production of play houses for subsequent performances according to the required intensity.
