BHARATA NATYAM

An important matter that we have to keep in mind is that "BHARATA NATYAM" is a term just more than half a century old.The original version of the same called "SADIR" has certainly been influenced by the "NATYASAHSTRA" the ancient sanskrit text of dramatology.The "Natyashastra" is believed to have been created in the 2nd century B.C.
