ALANKAR ART

                 An alankara is any pattern of musical decoration a musician or vocalist creates within or across tones, based on ancient musical theories or driven by personal creative choices, in a progression of svaras. ... The concept of alankara applies to both vocal and musical instrument performance.

The things which attract you to an artwork.Where you feel pleasure in an artwork.It is not important that you capture reality. More important is what you thought. e.g. Van Gogh - Sunflower painting.“The Logic of Emotion”. Here, I would like to briefly mention that Ânanda linked dhvani torasa and pointed out that as the meaning is suggested, emotions can be suggested (in fact, emotions can only be suggested and cannot be communicated directly, being mental qualities and hence invisible). This was taken further by Abhinava who developed it further in terms of the concept of rasa-dhvani.
