Ahary Abhinaya Defined
Ahary-abhinaya is one of the four types of 'Abhinaya' (expression or acting) used in Indian classical arts, including dance and theatre.
It specifically refers to the aspects of presentation related to the external appearance and adornment.
Elements of Ahary Abhinaya
This category encompasses:
- Costumes
- Jewellery and Ornaments
- Makeup and Hairstyles
- Props and Stage Settings
These elements are crucial for defining a character's identity, status, and the overall atmosphere of the performance.
Analysis of Options
Based on the definition, Ahary-abhinaya directly corresponds to the external elements of a performance.
- Option 1 (Emotions & Temperament) relates to Sattvikabhinaya.
- Option 2 (Body Gestures) relates to Angikabhinaya.
- Option 3 (Dance Proper) is too general and doesn't specifically define Ahary-abhinaya.
- Option 4 (Costume & Make Up) accurately represents the scope of Ahary-abhinaya.
Therefore, Ahary-abhinaya is denoted by Costume & Make Up.
