The rich tradition of Sanskrit literature reveals the most sublime and brightest aspects of Indian culture.

The graphs and figures of hand-postures, eye-gestures, steps etc. provided in the last chapter of this book have enhanced its value as a reference work for the study of dance-techniques and their interrelation with Sanskrit literature.
