This paper explores Parampara (tradition) and Navnirmiti (new creation) within Indian classical performing arts. The paper traces their unique paths, their points of difference, and their points of intersection. The paper studies the role of abstraction, hypothesis and metaphor in the way tradition holds its integrity while it fosters creativity. It also looks at how these ideas shape artistic expression and innovation within an established framework. The study evaluates the independence and interdependence of Parampara and Navnirmiti. This evaluation builds an understanding of their dynamics within Indian classical dance forms. The paper studies how classical Indian dance forms evolve and adapt for present-day audiences. Central to the paper is the balance between tradition and creativity. The paper gives attention to the role of the performer (Kalaakaar) and the spectator (Rasika) within this balance. The paper also studies the gap that stands between the dancer and the spectator. This gap comes from factors within both Parampara and Navnirmiti. By this study, the paper builds insight into the relationship between Parampara and Navnirmiti. This insight opens a view of their role in artistic expression and audience engagement. It also helps in exploring the aesthetic and cultural depth of Indian classical dance.
