Hyderabad based photographer Sushmitha Tadakamadha’s visual take on the navarasas.
Bharatnatyam explores the concept of navarasas or the nine moods people experience. The dance combines these emotions with visual splendour and seamless movements known as mudras. Inspired by these rasas, Sushmitha and Zeeshan depict five moods through vivid images.
Adbutha – surprise
Veera – courage
Rudra – anger
Bheebhatsya – disgust
