What is Rasa? Explain. |
|
Answer» Rasa is a dance to be performed in circle along with singing. It is mainly performed in Gujarat. As per Gujarati mythology, Lord Krishna had shown ‘Rasa Leela’ to devotes (Bhakt) Narsinh Mehta. Rasa is mostly performed during Navratri and Janmashtami festivals. Dandiya Rasa is one of its types. However, some people also perform rasa by placing earthen pots on their heads. Rasa has become more popular with increasing influence of Vaishnav sect. Women wear traditional dresses like embroidered chaniya-choli and men wear embroidered kediya-dhoti while performing rasa. |
