Description
The Das’A-Rupa, also known as the Hindu Canons of Dramaturgy, is a seminal work that delves into the classical theories of Indian theater and dramatic performance. Authored by Dhananjaya with scholarly translation and commentary by Fitzedward Hall, this text serves as a comprehensive guide to understanding the aesthetics, techniques, and spiritual dimensions of Hindu dramatic arts.
The work examines the ten principal dramatic forms (das’a-rupa) recognized in classical Indian theater, detailing their characteristics, performance methods, and philosophical underpinnings. It bridges the gap between ancient theatrical practices and modern understanding, providing invaluable insights into how drama functioned as both an art form and a spiritual practice in Hindu culture.
This scholarly publication by Gyan Publishing House makes this important historical and cultural text accessible to contemporary readers interested in classical Indian theater, religious studies, and the intersection of spirituality and performance arts.
