The Dasarupa: A Treatise On Hindu Dramaturgy (1912) by Dhanamjaya is a comprehensive guide to the art of theatre and drama in ancient Hindu culture. The book explores the various elements that make up a successful play, including plot, character, dialogue, and stagecraft. It also examines the different types of drama that were popular in Hindu society, such as the heroic, romantic, and comic genres. The author draws on a variety of sources, including the Natyashastra, a foundational text on Indian theatre, as well as other classical works and literary traditions. He provides detailed explanations of key concepts and techniques, such as rasa (emotional resonance), bhava (mood), and abhinaya (expression). In addition to its practical insights into the art of theatre, The Dasarupa also sheds light on the cultural and social context in which drama was performed in ancient India. The book discusses the role of theatre in religious and ritual contexts, as well as its connections to other forms of art and literature. Overall, The Dasarupa is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history and theory of theatre, as well as those seeking to deepen their understanding of Hindu culture and aesthetics.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
