ABSTRACT
This chapter analyses one of the aesthetic principles of Indian art, the rasa theory. In order to understand a painting or sculpture, one should consider the rasa theory together with the other principles discussed in the previous chapters rather than conceiving it as a separate entity. Rasa is generally labelled as the aesthetic principle of Indian art, although every chapter of this work explains an aesthetic principle, each of which should be understood and interwoven with the others in order to create or look at an Indian work of art.
