Explanation:

The ideal postures of the body in movement are based upon these Bhangas or bend which represent the change of the body from the central straight line or balance of the figure. Bhangas are of 4 kinds: Abhanga (slight flexion), Samabhanga (equipose), Atibhanga (excessive flexion), Tribhanga (three flexions). Tribhanga posture is the thrice-bent figure in which the head is inclined to one side, the upper body is bent in the opposite direction and part of the body below the waist takes again the reverse direction. The Tribhanga actions are dramatic energetic muscle actions. The ‘Dancing Girl’ in tribhanga posture from Mohenjodaro is the earliest bronze sculpture datable to 2500 BCE.
