About the book
This book is the first attempt to discuss aesthetic values of Balinese arts, especially dance and drama from views of Indian antithetical theory fostering on the concept of Siwa Nataraja as flourished firstly in 13th century in South India. A brief discussion of the general concept of Nataraja in Vedic literature is attempted to give a background on the development of aesthetics. It discusses in a rather elaborate way on the Nataraja as an aesthetic concept of dance. Each symbol in the Nataraja itself is discussed and it tries to see Balinese arts, its development, and varieties of expression enriching Indonesia culture.
