Introduction

Bharata enunciates the rules of construction of three forms of natyamandapa (theatre) in the second chapter of Natya Śāstra. They are vikrstha (rectangular), caturaśra (square) and tryaśra (triangular). He mentions three sizes of theatre as Jyestha (large), madhyama (middle- half of the large) and avara (small quarter of the large). In one of the verses, Bharata indicates that the large size nățyamandapa is not suitable for mortals. Therefore, in a subsequent verse, he proposes the madhyama size as most conducive (irrespective of the form). He tells scantily the rules pertaining to the planning and building the vikrstha of the madhyama dimensions which are 64 x 32 hastas (96 x 48 feet).
