Ashtanayika

- tatwa O kabita

is a scholarly exploration that intricately traces the origins of the Aṣṭanāyikās, a concept from Bharatmuni’s Nāṭya Śāstra, to its evolution across various art forms. Discover this timeless elegance through romance, poetry, and art where classic literature meets modern reflection.

Ashtanayika

- The Romantic Heroines from Nāṭyaśāstra to Modernity

A poetic and scholarly journey into the timeless archetypes of love, longing, and artistic expression.
Rooted in classical tradition yet resonating across generations, it explores how the emotion of Śṛṅgāra Rasa continues to inspire art, music, literature, and performance.

Astanayika

I find the beauty in artistic simplicity, Be it writing an ordinary thought,
Or creating a pretty culinary art, Each expression nothing but a canvas to paint.
With less, I share more, In each tiny part, I envision the whole art, To share with you, just a piece of my heart.

- Manorama Choudhury
