Anotations

Scope note:

A concept in the Indian tradition of aesthetics that refers to the aesthetic experience produced by a work of art. The terms is sometimes translated as flavor, mood, or aesthetic delight. Theoreticians identified eight major moods: erotic, humorous, heroic, furious, piteous, wondrous, terrifying, and disgusting. A work of art had to have, in addition to a major mood, other features such as accompanying minor moods, determinants, and consequents; these features, in varying combinations, produced the overall aesthetic experience. Each of the eight rasas is associated with a specific color.
