Hardcover. Condition: New. Language: English. My aim is to present the history, origin, technique and basic principles underlying the dance forms of Andhra Pradesh. A study of the art, architecture and literature through the ages reveals that the art of dance flourished and occupied a special place in the evolution of Andhra Culture. "Andhri" style referred to by Bharata in his Natyassastra relates to Telgu Land. Popularity of Compositions of Kshetrayya, Narayana Tundha, and others richly contributed to the enrichment of various styles. Madhura Bhakti of Atma was a popular theme in the remote past and was replaced by Sringararasa later on through the popularity of Satyabhama and NayakaNayaki Bhava. Now there is world wide interest on account of the Lasya and Abhinaya of these forms. Several regional forms of dance, dance dramas, folk dances, classical dances and various other forms existed for centuries in Andhra Desa, as an essential part of sacred rites and festivals patronized by the royalty, practiced by the artists and appreciated by the elite of society, as well as commoners.
