Sringara

Sringara

Sringara is one of the nine Rasas, usually translated as erotic love or romantic love. Rasa means flavour, and the theory of Rasa is the primary concept behind classical Indian arts including theatre, music, dance, poetry, and even sculpture. Much of the content of traditional Indian arts revolves around the relationship between a man and a woman. The primary emotion thus generated is Sringara. The romantic relationship between lover and beloved is a metaphor for the relationship between the individual and the divine.

Classical dancers (i.e. Koodiyattam, Bharatanatyam, Odissi, Mohiniyattam) refer to Sringara as 'the Mother of all Rasas.' Sringara gives scope for a myriad of other emotions including jealousy, fear, anger, compassion, and of course for the expression of physical intimacy. No other Rasa has such a vast scope.
