https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rasa_(aesthetics)
In Indian aesthetics, a rasa (Sanskrit: रस) literally means "juice, essence or taste".[1][2] It is a concept in Indian arts denoting the aesthetic flavour of any visual, literary or musical work that evokes an emotion or feeling in the reader or audience, but cannot be described.[2] It refers to the emotional flavors/essence crafted into the work by the writer or a performer and relished by a 'sensitive spectator' or sahṛidaya, literally one who "has heart", and can connect to the work with emotion, without dryness.
Rasas are created by one's bhava: [3] one's state of mind.
