Cultural History of India : The Vedas, Major Epics and Puranas (Part-II) | Mehak Chawla

This lecture explores the Vedas, major epics, and Purāṇas as foundational sources of Indian dance and theatre, with reference to the Rāmāyaṇa, Mahābhārata, Cilappadikāram, and Bhāgavata Purāṇa. It highlights how Vedic ritual, epic narratives, Tamil performance traditions, and bhakti aesthetics collectively shaped the philosophy, structure, and expressive language of Indian performing arts, establishing dance and theatre as embodied, narrative, and culturally rooted traditions. What You’ll Learn: • How the Vedas establish early concepts of sound, rhythm, ritual, and performance • The role of Itihāsa (epics) in shaping narrative structure and character portrayal in dance and theatre • Differences in performative potential between the Rāmāyaṇa (idealistic) and the Mahābhārata (complex and psychological) • Why Cilappadikāram is a crucial source for understanding historical dance practices and performer culture • How the Bhāgavata Purāṇa integrates bhakti and rasa, influencing devotional dance and theatre traditions #IndianDance #CulturalHistoryofIndia #VedasandPerformingArts #RamayanaandDance #MahabharataandTheatre #CilappadikaramTamilEpic #BhagavataPurana #KrishnaLila #RasaTheory #Abhinaya #IndianAesthetics #ClassicalDanceStudies #DanceHistoryIndia #PerformingArtsLecture #BhaktiandPerformance #TextandPerformance #UGCNET #Indiandancetheory #BharatanatyamTheory #PerformingArts #MehakChawla #GeetaChandran #MehakJoshi #Performingartslecture #NETJRFperformingarts Thanks
