Raas literally means “aesthetics” in Sanskrit. However, this word is deep-rooted in Indian tradition and has profound connotations. Synonymous with the legendary tales of Lord Krishna, this term upholds the very essence and fiber of Indian culture and beauty. “Raas.” exemplifies the amalgamation of colors, royalty, tenderness, emotions, nature and above all, creation. Rich colors, opulent decorations and pure, mesmerizing joy permeated the space. This abundance of beauty, vivid hues and grandeur is the inspiration and vision for the idea of Raas .
