Mohiniattam 5 - The Rasas Or The Sentiments

The Rasas! Gamut of human emotions, Enacted with much eagerness, The pathos - of separation from the lover The anger - at an unfaithful one, The jealousy - at the sight of a temptress! Sringara or Love The queen of emotions, That thrives in Mohiniattam. Sensitive expressions, Unfolding the glamorous sentiment of love, The intoxicating eyes, The dark bow-shaped eyebrows, Uplifting the subtle portrayal of the artiste! The romantic songs of Maharaja Swathi Thirunal, The resplendent lyrics of Irayimman Thampi, The metaphors that spell magic, The similies that strike a chord, The nature that solves and tunes every moment, The language of the bards - Manipravalam, That weave imageries of love-struck maidens, Translating the enchanting poetry into motion, Transforming the music into a scintillating dance, Transcending into a height of aesthetic joy!
