Navarasa
"Nava" means Nine and "Rasa" is often translated as "mood", "emotion", "expression", or "sentiment". The Navarasa, in the scriptures refer to the nine expressions that humans often show.
The rasas are the mainstay of performing art, which tries to present various phases of human life. The state of rasa is established due to bhava, which is the cause of emotion. Every rasa corresponds to a particular bhava and is about human state of mind. Rasa encompasses not just emotions but also the various things that cause that emotion.
There are nine types of rasa: Shringara, Veera, Karuna, Adbhutha, Haasya, Bhayanaka, Roudra, Bheebhatsa, and Shantha.
In this video, Vaika mol of Amrita Vidyalayam, class 4, expresses the navarasas through dance form.
