Aim of the Program
Aesthetics is the study of the nature of beauty and art. Aesthetic appreciation is the admiration of beauty, such as valuing the fine arts of music, literature, dance, and visual art.
Sanskrit literature, which constitutes poetry, prose, drama, champu, etc., is ancient and has its roots in the Vedas. Undoubtedly, its popularity is profound for its established methodologies. It is the reflection of society. It indeed brings out the beauty of the internal and external world. These theories and methods are generally assumed to be confined to the books and Sanskrit learners, though they are applicable and used in our day-to-day life including in our professions. Sahitya or alankara shaastra has application in modern design, architecture and other creative professions. This workshop focuses on an application oriented approach to appreciation of Vedic aesthetics. Hence, the aim of this FDP is help Sahitya teachers at UG / PG level to make aesthetics a modern discipline, relevant in daily life, making it an impactful, useful and meaningful subject for the students from different backgrounds and academic disciplines.
