Bhakti Shakti in India 02/2008

The Sanskrit theatre is nowadays recognised  as world heritage. Its roots are in India region at the time when Christianity was not even present there, i.e. over 5000 years back in time.

Over centuries this kind of theatre developed into various forms of cultural expression across multiple epochs, the Vedic time, the Buddhist and Jain eras, and through the subsequent ages of Hinduism. Nowadays Sanskrit theatre is a well-known form of cultural practice in India that follows the heritage of Sanskrit dramatists like Harsha, Bodhayana, Nilakantha, Sudraka, Shaktibhadra, Mahendravikramavaram, Bhasa, Kulasekhara, and four of the ten drama forms in Sanskrit language, i.e. Nataka, Prakarana, Prahasana and Vyayoga.
