The Rasa lila (IAST rāsa-līlā) (Hindi: रास लीला) or Rasa dance is part of the traditional story of Krishna described in Hindu scriptures such as the Bhagavata Purana and literature such as the Gita Govinda, where he dances with Radha and her sakhis. The Indian classical dance of Kathak evolved from the Raslila of Braj and Manipuri Classical Dance (Vrindavan) also known as Natwari Nritya, which was revived in 1960s by Kathak dancer, Uma Sharma. The term, rasa meaning aesthetics and lila meaning act, play or dance is a concept from Hinduism, which roughly translates to play (lila) of aesthetics (rasa), or more broadly as Dance of Divine Love.
