In ancient days,though the performance of folk art forms were done in the streets and opengrounds. classical performing arts had specific theatre-houses, music halls and studios. Vishnudharmottara speaks of two types of theatre-houses-rectangular and square ones. The Natya Sastra mentions Vikrshta (rectangular), Chaturasra and Tryasra theatres, and further divides each of them according to their measurement as Sreshtha, Madhyama and Avara, thus making a total of nine varieties. Sangitamakaranda hasonly the Chnrurasravariety, while Saradatanaya's Bhiivaprakiisa gives three types-namely Vrtta Chaturasra and Misra. In Vishnudharmottara, the measurement of each side of a Chaturasra Natyagrha is given as one hundred and twenty-eight hastas. The dimensions of rectangular theatre are not certain. Here discussed about the correct measurement of these.
