| Adaptation of Dhruva Sahitya in Musical Dramas of Sri Tyagaraja's to Bharatanatyam |
| A devotee can glorify the Lord via art, which is a useful medium for educating others about religion, ethics, religious values, and social life. Sixty-four of these arts exist. The art of music is the oldest of these disciplines. The Lord was praised by our ancestors mainly through music. The composition of swaras and their singing in the Samaveda enhanced the efficacy of remembering the Lord. As a result, music started serving as a tool for remembering God. Lord's memory began with dance and plays based on this musical talent. This tradition led to musical dramas which are also called as ‘Geya Nataka’. Bharatha in his treatise ‘Natyashastra’ gives in depth explanation about the musical drama and its characteristics. Dhruva geeta is one of the main compositions in musical drama. In Bharata's Natya Shastra, Dhruva is considered to be the Ranga Gita. A form of Prabhanda in one of the ‘Chaturdandi’ of music is the Dhruva Gīta. Daru is a musical composition that originated from this Dhruva Gīta (Ghosh, 1961). Sri Tyagaraja has a unique place in the history of Carnatic music. Sri Tyagaraja have written 3 musical plays which begin and end with Daru. Adapting these Daru / Dhruva sahitya into Bharathanatyam is the main aim of this research article. |
