INTRODUCTION Indigenous knowledge is a sign of human evolution. It’s the knowledge that early humans acquired through constant experimentation- like A griculture, Yoga, Ayurveda, Philosophy, Naturopathy, Arts, infinite horizon of Performing Arts ………….. Performing arts mainly include vocal, Instruments, dance and drama. If we talk about ancient times, we find a Granth called “ Natyashastra ” which is relevant even today, is contemporary even today. Many times the question comes to my mind, why ? The answer to this is that at that time, our indigenous arts were at a peak of development, where we talk about higher education today. What aspect of the performing arts is not described in the Natyashastra ? Despite this, the people of that time also faced many challenges. Which kind of challenges??? For sustain…..for grow……for lively hood ……..for entertainment………for beyond life………….. © Prof. Dr. Vidhi Nagar
