Koodiyattam, a classical Sanskrit theatre form of Kerala, influenced the development of other theatre styles like Krishnattam and RamaAttam. These theatrical styles eventually led to the emergence of Kathakali as a classical dance form of Kerala. Kathakali is well-suited for open-air performances against Kerala's lush greenery, requiring no props as dancers use gestures and facial expressions to depict scenes. Color plays an important role in Kathakali, with different hues indicating character types - green for nobility and virtue, red for royalty combined with evil, and black for wicked females. Kathakali displays remarkable use of eye movements and expressions.

Puppetry is an ancient form of theatre that involves manipulating puppets and dates back 30,000 years. It is used for both entertainment and ceremonies across many human societies. Most puppetry involves storytelling which can create complex magical theatre with few resources. Shadow puppetry uses opaque figures and light to create the illusion of moving images and remains popular in over 20 countries. Indian classical dances use hand gestures and facial expressions to narrate stories and convey concepts and emotions. Some major classical dances of India are Bharatanatyam, Kathak, Kathakali, Kuchipudi, Manipuri, Mohiniyattam, Odissi, and Sattriya which originate from different states across India.
Kathakppt
Kathak is a classical dance form that originated in northern India. The word Kathak comes from "katha" meaning story and "kathakar" meaning storyteller. In ancient times, nomadic performers called kathakas would recite stories from Hindu epics through a combination of dance, music, and mime. Over time, Kathak developed different styles at royal courts. Today it is one of the eight classical Indian dance forms and is practiced in various styles passed down through generational gurus.

EXPLORING NEW FINDINGS AT BATHISTAL CAVE IN SUID DACHHAN, KISHTWAR
During the 1920s a Brahmi Inscription was found by R C Kak, from a cave prevalently known as Bathistal
cave, situated at Suid Dachhan, District Kishtwar, Jammu, and Kashmir. It was an important discovery of
the Brahmi inscription in District Kishtwar of the Jammu region. The numbers and typology of those
characters are too exhaustive to be in any way unraveled and assessed in detail and even today the
connections and associations couldn't be appropriately made among these characters. R C Kak in his
research emphasized that these characters belong to the 3rd Century AD, some belong to the 5th Century
AD and few characters belong to the later period. The typology of these characters is so rich that only a
few characters painted on the ceilings of that cave got deciphered and evaluated during the research of
Kak.
This cave is of great historical significance, as it embodied an important source of archeological study i.e.
it has painted as well as carved inscriptions and symbols. On my first and very recent visit to that coveted
site, I made a well-detailed observation of the whole cave with the multipronged approach, and
subsequently, I got some important findings that R C Kak couldn't manage to establish. On one side of the
cave very close to its base there are carved inscriptions, some characters made of red ochre, few symbols,
rock paintings, and some unintelligible carved symbols and characters were noticed. The present paper
will discuss some new findings at Bathistal cave and the rock paintings near Bathistal.

How Does Translation Work? Abhijnanasakuntalam Translated Text Comparison
The dramas of Kalidas, particularly Abhijnanasakuntalam, have mesmerised western culture. Numerous translations have brought this tale to the western reader. However, each translation has been unique, reflecting the translators' efforts to acquire the language of the original text as well as their own leanings, which frequently result from their normative perspective. In the end, each translation proves to be a true representation of the translator's mental image and amply demonstrates their own cultural and intellectual preferences. It also brings to light the challenges—and frequently impossibility—of translating between different eras, tongues, and civilizations.
Kathakali
Kathakali is the classical dance-drama of Kerala, South India, dating back to the 17th century and rooted in Hindu mythology. It has a unique combination of literature, music, painting, acting and dance. Costumes and makeup in Kathakali are intricate art forms utilizing wood carving and crude materials like sulfur and rice paste. While dance is an element, the focus is more on dramatic acting through hand gestures (mudras) and facial expressions to portray stories and characters from Hindu epics and mythology. Training can take 8-10 years and draws from techniques of Kalaripayattu martial arts.

CHAPTER 25
UNDERSTANDING DRAMA
The distinctive appearance of a script, with its divisions into acts and scenes,
identi�es drama as a unique form of literature. A play is written to be per-
formed in front of an audience by actors who take on the roles of the charac-
ters and who present the story through dialogue and action. (An exception is
a closet drama, which is meant to be read, not performed.) In fact, the term
theater comes from the Greek word theasthai, which means “to view” or “to
see.” Thus, drama is different from novels and short stories, which are meant
to be read.
The Ancient Greek Theater
The dramatic presentations of ancient Greece developed out of religious
rites performed to honor gods or to mark the coming of spring. Play-
wrights such as Aeschylus (525–456 b.c.), Sophocles (496–406 b.c.), and
Euripides (480?–406 b.c.) wrote plays to be performed and judged at com-
petitions held during the yearly Dionysian festivals. Works were chosen by
a selection board and evaluated by a panel of judges. To compete in the
contest, writers had to submit three tragedies, which could be either based
on a common theme or unrelated, and one comedy. Unfortunately, very few
of these ancient Greek plays survive today.
The open-air, semicircular ancient Greek theater, built into the side of a
hill, looked much like a primitive version of a modern sports stadium. Some
Greek theaters, such as the Athenian theater, could seat almost seventeen
thousand spectators. Sitting in tiered seats, the audience would look down
on the orchestra, or “dancing place,” occupied by the chorus—originally
a group of men (led by an individual called the choragos) who danced and
chanted and later a group of onlookers who commented on the drama.

Origins of Modern Drama 803
Raised a few steps above the orchestra was a platform on which the
actors performed. Behind this platform was a skene, or building, that origi-
nally served as a resting place or dressing room. (The modern word scene
is derived from the Greek skene.) Behind the skene was a line of pillars
called a colonnade, which was covered by a roof. Actors used the skene for
entrances and exits; beginning with the plays of Sophocles, painted back-
drops were hung there. These backdrops, however, were most likely more
decorative than realistic. Historians believe that realistic props and scenery
were probably absent from the ancient Greek theater. Instead, the setting
was suggested by the play’s dialogue, and the audience had to imagine the
physical details of a scene.
Two mechanical devices were used. One, a rolling cart or platform,
was sometimes employed to introduce action that had occurred offst ...

Kathak
A traditional dance form that originated in India based on the concept of storytelling,
Kathakars told stories based on ancient myths and great Indian epics, mainly based on the life of
Lord Krishna. It is one of the most elegant dance forms in the world.
Theatre And Religion
Theatre has its origins in religious rituals from as early as 40,000 BC, where early humans acted out natural events through dance and body painting. Theatre later evolved from 'Shamanistic' rituals where actors would use masks and costumes to embody spirits. Throughout ancient Egypt and Greece, theatre remained closely tied to religion with stories and plays used to convey religious messages. It was not until the 16th-17th centuries that theatre fully separated from religion in Europe due to the Protestant Reformation.

Lord Krishna. It is one of the most elegant dance forms in the world.

Theatre has its origins in religious rituals from as early as 40,000 BC, where early humans acted out natural events through dance and body painting. Theatre later evolved from 'Shamanistic' rituals where actors would use masks and costumes to embody spirits. Throughout ancient Egypt and Greece, theatre remained closely tied to religion with stories and plays used to convey religious messages. It was not until the 16th-17th centuries that theatre fully separated from religion in Europe due to the Protestant Reformation.
