Nava Rasa Nata Bhamini

The procreator of the entire universe lord Shiva, along with wife goddess Parvathi, initiated the kernel of development of different art forms that bring in uniqueness to a human being. Dance, as such, is a spiritual connotation of their divine deeds thus bringing forth the complete meaning of the Vedas. In the dance parlance, the four different abhinayas and the nine emotions are nothing but the delineation of renowned expressions as experienced by the lord and the goddess. Based on such experiences, the nine emotions as portrayed by the goddess in different episodes are carefully selected and embellished as distinct flowers of a garland in Kuchipudi Dance Drama 'NAVA RASA NATA BHAMINI' (Nine Emotions of The Goddess)
