Compositions related to Nayika Bheda in Kathak. Epilogue. Bibliography. Nayika Bheda in Kathak deals with various types of heroines with respect to their mental setup and apparent behaviour. Women are ever unpredictable. A close study of their behaviour right from an early age can provide a clue to dealing with them. Various female characters in Natya i.e. Drama revolve around her temperament and attitude towards life as a whole. Drama attempts to portray true picture of women hitherto called Nayika. Kathak dance is rich in this respect. It presents various facets of Nayika through a number of Kavittas Thumaris and the like. However contrary to general notion Kathak leads the viewer to higher and sacred levels of Sringara Rasa. 236 pp.

The book Sastric Tradition in Indian Classical Dances focuses on textual tradition of performing arts in the context of dance only. The rules pertaining to the fourfold Abhinaya in Natyasastra and other Sanskrta Laksana granthas are correspondingly imperative and valid for all the classical dance forms even today. It is well known that our youngsters are much comfortable with English and for them Sanskrta appears to be an alien language, similar is the case with Rajabhasa Hindi. Keeping this in mind and for the benefit of non-Hindi speaking readers and researchers of India and abroad the present work is attempted in English. (jacket).
