#AsthaNowYika @santoshkumar_gangala #Proshitabhartruka Proshitabhartruka (“one with a sojourning husband”) or Proshitapatika (as named by Keshavadasa) is the woman whose partner has gone away from her and does not return at all. She is depicted seated mourning the lonliness the partner has left her under, tearing apart her true self to the mirror of reflection. The artificality is gone and she is felt to be real, surrounded by her thoughts and memories of dream she weaved with a wrong person, but refusing to be consoled. she is unhidding herself, depleating the covers one by one and feeling her own skin. The Ashta-Nayika is a collective name for eight types of nayikas or heroines as classified by Bharata in his Sanskrit treatise on performing arts - Natya Shastra. The eight nayikas represent eight different states (avastha) in relationship to her hero or nayaka. As archetypal states of the romantic heroine, it has been used as theme in Indian painting, literature, sculpture as well as Indian classical dance and music. #acting #actor #actress #actorslife #film #theatre #actors #love #movie #model #art #tiktok #comedy #cinema #photography #drama #casting #movies #hollywood #instagram #bollywood #artist #music #tv #theater #singing #instagood #director (at India) https://www.instagram.com/p/CSa9y3GF_Xz/?utm_medium=tumblr
