Summary
Travelling through the lands of India, with images of the Rasamanjari paintings and dance, the film narrates the story and history behind these paintings. Bhanudatta composed Rasamanjari in the 15th century. This Sanskrit work classifies Nayaks and Nayikas according to their temperament and behaviour. Due to its delicate and vivid delineation of the persons of these Nayikas and Nayaks, Rasamanjari has drawn the attention of the artists and painters all over India. Rasamanjari highlights the Sringara Rasa, also known as the Rasaraja or the supreme of all the Rasas.
