| Description | Panel 32 of Tanjavur depicts the karana ghurnita of Natyasastra . 32. The left leg is bent, the foot flat on the ground in sama pose; the right leg is bent and crosses the other leg in svastika with the back of the toes touching the ground. The front right arm, bent at the elbow, is near the waist (bent), the left is extended to the side and is in dola-hasta. The rear right hand holds an indistinct object, probably damaru; the left seems to hold fire. The body is bent to the left gently; the face is turned to the left. As has been rightly pointed out by Sivaramamurti, the karana is charmingly portrayed at Tanjavur. Bharata refers to three movements as characteristics of this karana: 1. The right hand should revolve and be brought to the side in a movement called ghurnita; 2. The left hand should swing forward and backward; and 3. the feet gently unlocked from the svastika crossing. These actions constitute the karana ghurnita. |

NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources.
