Dance drama (natya) conveys stories using gestures (hastamudras), facial expressions (abhinaya) and body movements, eliminating the need for spoken dialogue. This form of storytelling allows dancers to depict mythological, historical or social themes with grace. Music, costumes and props enhance the presentation, making it visually rich and emotionally compelling. By using rhythmic footwork and dramatic poses, dancers bring characters and stories to life, ensuring an immersive experience for the audience.
