Story on navras of bhartnatyam

Answer 1

True to their name, Navarasas are nine in number. They are nine abinayas or in simplar words nine expressions these abinayas are called :-

1) Shringara -The expression of Feeling Shy.

2) Veera - The expression of Bravery - (Courage)

3) Bhayanaka-The expression of feeling scared.

4) Adbuda -The expression of Surprise

5) Karuna -The expression of pity for someone or something.

6) Bibasthatha - The expression of disgust.

7) Roudhra - The expression of anger.

8) Haasya - The expression of laughter.

9) Shantam -The expression of peace.

One rule about navarasas is it need not be said in order but shringara should

always be said in the begning and shantam at last.
