DESCRIPTION
Nandikeshwar's Abhinayadarpan, after Natyashastra, Abhinayadarpan is the first major treatise on dance in Sanskrit. Encapsulated in beautiful verses by monk Nandikeshwar in 4th century B.C. after monk Bharat (text found in 13th century A. D. confirms its date with his other two slim texts Nandikeshwar Kashika and Rudradamaru-udbhavsutra vivaran), the text was first translated into English and then in Hindi and other languages from Sanskrit in 20th century. This text, especially focused on ancient Indian dance form, is inspired by Natyashastra and Sangit Samayasar, and influenced several texts in later period such as Nrittaratnavali, Nartananirnaya and Sangitsarasangrah.
