Types of Theatres 

In chapter second from Natyashastra, Bharata describes three types of theatres. They are
1. Rectangular ( vik¤Àtam)
2. The square (catura¿ram)
3. The triangular (trasyam)
Each of these may be large, medium and small according to the requirements.

The theatre space was divided in to three portions
1. Daiva for the gods
2. Gandharva for the celestial singers
3. ManuÀa for the human beings.

 These are again divided in to jyeÀtam, madyamam, kan¢yam. But Bharata recommends a middle size house. The theatre should be attractive with full of carvings, wood work and have paintings on the walls.
