Abstract

The theory of Rasa has been a fascinating term both in performing and visual arts. Though the origin of the term date back historically enveloping millenniums; the application of the theory is so very axiomatic till date. While defining drama, the Sanskrit legend Bharata Muni says, “Nātya is trailokyānukaraṇa”, which means, “Drama is an imitation of the three worlds”. The major text dealing with Rasa is Nātyaṡāstra, penned by Bharat Muni. The paper tries to heave light on the concept of Rasa and how Rasa finds its application in each and every form of art, evoking emotion in the reader or audience and helping them to transcend the mortal world to a world of spiritual and moral consciousness. KEYWORDS: Aesthetics, Bharata Muni, Nātyaṡāstra, Rasa, Rasa in Arts
