Natyakatha
The art of storytelling is timeless. Through NatyaKatha, we bring you a series of stories that weave together the essence of natya. Drama, emotion, and human experience in an episodic format.
This opening episode of Natyashastra unveils the divine origins of performance arts, the whispers of Natya.
In a serene forest, a group of rṣis led by Agastya, sought to understand Natya, the divine art. Their questions were answered by the sage Bharata.
This episode of “The Fifth Veda: A Story of Natya” details the origin of Natya, a sacred art form.
The Devas approached Brahmā, seeking a new way for all beings to understand life’s wonders. Brahmā created Fifth Veda, or Natyashastra.
The episode tells the story of how the great creator, Brahmā, created
Natyaveda. The narrative follows Brahmā as he seeks performers to bring this divine drama to life.
Due to the gods’ lack of emotional intelligence, Brahmā entrusted the sacred art to the sage Bharata Muni.
