Is Padma indeed still trying to reconstruct 108 figures from Nathya Shastra?
In the 3rd volume of her Karanas, the photo book, I saw her and her students attempting "something" but I wonder why 80% of such attempts have not resulted in anything remotely resembling the original temple carvings provided as illusrations?
Otherwise, anyone can claim to have studied the Natya Shastra and to have reconstructed "something".
Most of the gurus I know (e.g. Adyar Lakshman) do not think that 70% of Padma's "reconstructions" are correct.
