Government of IndiaThe Nayikas of Indian classics: their genesis and rise to glory
Author: Srinivasan, K.S .
Keywords: Classical dance
Dance
Issue Date: 1985
Publisher: Sangeet Natak Akademi, New Delhi
Description: The dance tradition cherishes the nayikas, cast in eight different moulds conventionally, so as to represent woman in various moods and situations that belong to love. Yet the notion of the nayika is traceable to poetry of the earliest times; the Natyasastra seems to have classified and incorporated what poets had created and propagated. The nayika and her milieu take their origin in bardic poetry.
