Abstract: Anger is the main propaganda of this study. This study aims to explore the intervention of anger through the aesthetic concept of Raudra rasa in Dina Mehta's drama, "Brides Are Not for Burning." Emotions play a significant role in human experiences, and anger, in particular, has been the subject of extensive research. Drawing upon traditional Indian aesthetics and performing arts, Raudra rasa represents a complex emotional state of anger, rage, or ferocity. By examining its portrayal and impact in Mehta's drama, this study seeks to enhance our understanding of the role of Raudra rasa in evoking and managing anger. Utilizing a descriptive qualitative method, this study employs how Raudra rasa is embodied and expressed by the character. By delving into the intervention of anger through Raudra rasa in the play, this study contributes to the existing knowledge on the interplay between emotions, art, and human experiences.
