9 RASA

Srngaram Hasyam Raudram Karunyam Bibhatsam Bhayanakam Viram Abdhutam Santam

The Nine Rasa are a constant cultural refrain underlying Indian popular art, music, theatre, comics and cinema. They are noisy, plebeian and fun-loving.

Srngaram (love, attractiveness and the erotic) is presided over by Lord Vishnu and coloured light green. Hasyam (laughter, mirth and comedy) is presided over by Pramata and coloured white. Raudram (fury) is presided over by Rudra and coloured red. Karunyam (compassion and tragedy) has Yama as its presiding deity and is coloured grey. Bibhatsam (disgust, aversion and the pathetic) is presided over by Shiva and coloured blue. Bhayanakam (horror) is presided over by Kali and coloured black. Viram (heroic endeavour) has as its presiding deity Indra, and is coloured yellow. Abdhutam (wonder and amazement) has Lord Brahma and is coloured bright yellow. Santam (peace and tranquillity) has the presiding deity of Vishnu and is coloured blue.
