Rabindra Nritya Natya


Rabindra Nritya Natya is the group of three dance-dramas composed by Bengal's poet laureate Rabindranath Tagore: Chitrangada, Chandalika and Shyama. The principal characteristic of these works is that the story is told entirely through dance and song. The dances included in them were in the dance form created by Tagore. Tagore also included dance in earlier works such as Tasher Desh, though these are not regarded as Rabindra Nritya Natya.
