Below is a brief about what is NAVARASA.

==========================================================================

“Nava” means nine and “Rasa” means emotions.

The concept of rasa is fundamental to various forms of Indian Classical Dance and Music.

The Navarasas give dance completeness. "Rasa" is about human state of mind. It’s about what the mind feels and the expression of the feeling thereafter. In the Bharata’s Natyashastra, Rasa is an emotion experienced by the audience created by the facial expression or the Bhava (cause of emotion) of the actor. Thus Rasa encompasses not just emotions but also the various things that cause that emotion.

The Rasas are the mainstay of Performing Art, which tries to present various phases of human life.

1) Hasya
