The Natya Shastra was created in the beginning of Treta Yug by Bramha on the request of Indra and other devas as an object of diversion (Kridaniyaka), Bramha created the NAtya Shastra as the fifth Veda which was open to all , irrespective of caste and creed.
Prior to the creation of the Natya Veda , Bramha entered a yogic trance in which he recalled the four Vedas. He drew the recitative (Paathya ) from the Rig, songs(Geeta ) from the Sama, historic representation (Abhinaya ) from the yajur and sentiments (Rasa) from the Atharv.
Thse aspects are the four main constituents of the Natya Veda.
When the Natya Veda was ready, the god expressed their inability to practice it, brambha passed it to Bharat Muni and his one hundred sons who were asked to practice it .
The dances was first seen at the Flag Festival of Indra to celebrate the victory of the Devas against the Daahavas. Shiva learnt Tandava (masculine ) form of the dance , whereas Parvati, his consort learnt the Lasya (Feminine ) form.
