Hello! So we've been in Bangalore for three days now. Leaving on some epic travels tomorrow! Delhi, Agra, Jaipur, and Bombay/Mumbai. Come at me world. We've been pigging out like no other since we got here, and the moments not eating food are spent either shopping, researching, or drinking large amounts of tea. So in my last post, I talked about how I would post a second subpar picture to show one of the Ashtanayika. (Props for the pseudo-artistic lens flare and lighting? Thanks Natasha!) Here we go -
This is the classic pose of a Vasakasajjika (The dressed up heroine who awaits her lover). Clearly, I'm failing a bit on that dressed up front. But the vasakasajjika usually is looking over her shoulder yearningly, posing in wait. This pose combines a feminine stance with abhinaya (expression) to convey the heroine's situation.
So currently that is all. A delicious luncheon awaits me :) I shall excuse myself for that very valid reason! Adieu!
