The last twenty or so years have seen a phenomenal expansion in the variety of forms of creative and narrative audiovisual expression.

The Sanskrit drama is said to have been invented by the sage Bharata, who lived at a very remote period of Indian history and was the author of a system of music. The earliest references to the acted drama are to be found in the Mahabhashya Indian tradition describes Bharat as having caused to be acted before the gods a play representing the Svayamvara of Lakshmi. Tradition further makes Krishna and his cowherdesses the starting point of the Sangita, a mixture of song, music, and dancing. The Gitagovinda is concerned with Krishna, and the modern Yatras generally represent scenes from the life of that deity.
