Hare ramakrishna

dear sunil bhattacharjya ji

I too heard abt yallaya but not sure abt origins may sreenadh ji may b able to help us

now i searched wiki and i find this informations on koodiyatham ( they were staging almost all dramas including mricha kateegam ( if my memory is correct ) .

 

Koodiyattam or Kutiyattam (pronounced [kuËʈijaËʈËam]) is a form of Sanskrit theatre traditionally performed in the state of Kerala, India. Performed in the Sanskrit language in Hindu temples, it is believed to be at 2000 years old. It is officially recognised by UNESCO as a Masterpiece of the Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity.

Origin

Koodiyattam[kutiyattam], meaning 'combined acting' signifies Sanskrit drama presented in the traditional style in temple theatres of Kerala and is the only surviving specimen of the ancient Sanskrit theatre. It has an attested history of a thousand years in Kerala, but its origin and evolution are shrouded in mystery. It seems that Kutiyattam is an amalgam of the classical sanskrit theatre of ancient India and the regional theatre of Kerala. It is believed that Kulasekhara Varman Cheraman Perumal, an ancient king of Kerala, who ruled from Mahodayapuram [modern Kodungallur] reformed Koodiyattam, introducing the local language for Vidusaka and structuring presentation of the play to well defined units. He himself wrote two plays, Subhadraharana and Tapatisamvarana and made arrangements for their presentation on stage with the help of a Brahmin friend of him called Tolan. These plays are still presented on stage. Apart from these, the plays traditionally presented include Ascaryacudamani of Saktibhadra, Kalyanasaugandhika of Nilakantha, Bhagavadajjuka of Bodhayana, Nagananda of Harsa, and many plays ascribed to Bhasa including Abhiseka and Pratima. The Kutiyattam performance was confined to the temple precincts of Kerala in specialy constructed theatres called Kutampalams.

also this wat i find abt mriccha katigam.

Mricchakatika (The Little Clay Cart)

 

 

Main article: Mrichakatika

One of the earliest known Sanskrit plays, this play is thought to have been composed by ?Shudraka in the 2nd century BC. Rife with romance, sex, royal intrigue and comedy, the juicy plot of the play has numerous twists and turns. The main story is about a young man named Charudatta, and his love for Vasantasena, a rich courtesan or nagarvadhu. The love affair is complicated by a royal courtier, who is also attracted to Vasantasena. The plot is further complicated by thieves and mistaken identities, and thus making it a greatly hilarious and entertaining play. It invited widespread admiration when staged in New York in 1924. The play was made into a 1984 Hindi movie Utsav, directed by Girish Karnad. The Indian play depicted in the film Moulin Rouge! may have been based on The Little Clay Cart.

Shudraka's only existent play presents him as a king, and gives details of his capacities; he was an expert in the Rig Veda, the Sama Veda, mathematics, the arts regarding courtesans, and the science of elephants, all facts which could be concluded from the knowledge shown in the play itself; he was cured of some complaint, and after establishing his son in his place, and performing the horse sacrifice, he entered the fire and died at the age of a hundred years and ten days. Professor Konow finds in him the Abhira prince Sivadatta, who, or whose son, Isvarasena, is held by Dr. Fleet to have overthrown the last of the Andhra dynasty and to have founded the Cedi era of A.D. 248-9. This remarkable result is held to be supported by the fact that in the play the king of Ujjayini is Palaka, and is represented as being overthrown by Aryaka, son of a herdsman, and the Abhiras are essentially herdsmen.Shudraka's Dramas: Mrcchakatika*Source: The Sanskrit Drama, A.

Dear Sreenadhji,

// Those who are not interested in history and literature may pardon for this link mania. //

Let this mania be. I thouroughly enjoyed those links on the Rishis of the past, which you put a couple of days ago. I just need to spend some time enjoying the write ups on those. But have opened each and kept on Favourites. Any single individual may not find all the Links you put up, to his taste, BUT all Links would find someone or the other interested in it .

Thus no such effort is wasted or goes futile.

best wishes,

Bhaskaran.
