''Sattriya'' or ''Sattriya Nritya'' ((アッサム語:সত্ৰীয়া নৃত্য)), is one among the eight principal classical Indian dance traditions. Recognized in 2000 as a classical dance by Sangeet Natak Akademi, the Sattriya is the most recent entrant in this list.〔Kothari, Sunil (ed). ''(Sattriya-Classical Dance of Assam )''. Marg, The Marg Foundation, Mumbai, 2013.〕 Whereas some of the other traditions have been revived in the recent past, ''Sattriya'' has remained a living tradition since its creation by the medieval polymath Srimanta Sankardev in 15th century Assam.〔Sethi, Arshiya ''(Sattriya: The redefining of a tradition )''〕 ''Sattriya'' was further extended and defined by Sankardev's disciple Madhavdev for performances of ''Ankia Naat'' (a form of Assamese one-act plays devised by them), which were usually performed in the ''sattra''s (monasteries) associated with the Ekasarana dharma. As the tradition developed and grew within the ''sattras'', the dance form came to be known as ''Sattriya Nritya'', a name first coined by Maheswar Neog.〔Thakur, Sudarsha ''(Cultural Reportage )''〕 Today, although ''Sattriya Nritya'' has emerged from within the confines of the ''sattras'' to a much wider recognition, the ''sattras'' continue to use the dance form for ritualistic and other purposes for which it was originally created about 500 years ago. ==Dance== The core of ''Sattriya Nritya'' has usually been mythological stories. This was an artistic way of presenting mythological teachings to the people in an accessible, immediate, and enjoyable manner. Traditionally, ''Sattriya'' was performed only by ''bhokot''s (male monks) in monasteries as a part of their daily rituals or to mark special festivals. Today, in addition to this practice, ''Sattriya'' is also performed on stage by men and women who are not members of the ''sattras'', on themes not merely mythological. ''Sattriya Nritya'' is divided into many aspects: ''Apsara Nritya'', ''Behar Nritya'', ''Chali Nritya'', ''Dasavatara Nritya'', ''Manchok Nritya'', ''Natua Nritya'', ''Rasa Nritya'', ''Rajaghariya Chali Nritya'', ''Gosai Prabesh'', ''Bar Prabesh'', ''Gopi Prabesh'', ''Jhumura'', ''Nadu Bhangi'', and ''Sutradhara'', to name but a few — these being the counterpart to items in Bharata Natyam. Like the other seven schools of Indian Classical dance, ''Sattriya Nritya'' encompasses the principles required of a classical dance form: the treatises of dance and dramaturgy, like Natyashastra, Abhinaya Darpana, and Sangit Ratnakara; a distinct repertoire (marg) and the aspects of nritta (pure dance), nritya (expressive dance), and natya (abhinaya). ''Sattriya Nritya'' is accompanied by musical compositions called ''borgeets'' (composed by Sankardeva and Shree Shree madhavdev, among others) which are based on classical ragas. The instruments that accompany a traditional performance are ''khols'' (drums), ''taals'' (cymbals) and the flute. Other instruments like the violin and the harmonium have been recent additions. The costumes are usually made of ''pat'' – a silk produced in Assam which is derived from the mulberry plant – and woven with intricate local motifs. There are two types of costumes: the male costume comprising the ''dhoti'' and ''chadar'' and the female costume comprising the '' ghuri'' and ''chadar''. The waist cloth which is known as the ''kanchi'' or ''kingkini'' is worn by both the male and female dancers. The ornaments, too, are based on traditional Assamese design. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Sattriya」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
