There are dances that tell stories.
CLASSIC NORTH INDIAN DANCES tell stories. The dancers depict the characters of a story with mime—changes of facial expressions and poses.
one day, the jealous god indra demanded that the villagers bring him the offerings they were taking to the god Krishna. Old and young, the villagers followed his orders.
Krishna appeared and told the villagers to bring him the gifts as they always did.
When indra heard of this, he became very angry and shot his arrows into the sky, which caused rain and lightning to appear.
