| Tiivistelmä: | Classical Indian dance has developed a system of symbols for the communication of ideas, which include hand gestures that are accompanied by movements of other parts of the body. Relying on these symbols the dance can communicate numerous ideas, pertaining to human relations, social castes,the planets, various guardian spirits as well as the deities of the Hindu pantheon. The article describes the symbol system of hand gestures and analyses the semioses that occur in their production. |
