Śrī Caitanya-caritāmṛta
[Madhya-līlā, Ch. 1]
PURPORT
In those days in Bengal there were many places known as Kānāi Nāṭaśālā, where pictures of the pastimes of Lord Kṛṣṇa were kept. People used to go there to see them. This is called  kṛṣṇa-caritra-līlā . In Bengal there are still many places called  hari-sabhā , which indicates a place where local people gather to chant the Hare Kṛṣṇa  mahā-mantra  and discuss the pastimes of Lord Kṛṣṇa. The word  kānāi  means “Lord Kṛṣṇa’s,” and  nāṭaśālā  indicates a place where pastimes are demonstrated. So those places which at the present moment are called  hari-sabhā  may previously have been known as Kānāi Nāṭaśālā.
