The Mirror of Gesture is a book that was originally written in Sanskrit by Nandikesvara in the 10th century. This 1917 translation into English by Ananda Coomaraswamy and Gopala Kristnayya Duggirala provides readers with a comprehensive guide to the art of Indian classical dance. The book is divided into four parts, each of which explores a different aspect of the Abhinaya Darpana, a treatise on the use of gesture in dance. The first part provides an overview of the different types of gestures and their meanings, while the second part focuses on the use of facial expressions in dance. The third part delves into the use of hand gestures, known as mudras, and the fourth part explores the use of body movements and poses. The Mirror of Gesture is an essential resource for anyone interested in the art of Indian classical dance and provides a fascinating insight into the history and culture of this ancient art form.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
