The Principle Eight Nayikas
1. Vasaka Saija – once expecting union with her lover decorates herself to receive him
2. Virohitkanthita – one who is distressed by separation pining for love
3. Khandita – this nayika is hurt by the infidelity of her lover who is betraying her. When he returns in the morning after spending the night with another, she asks him to go away
4. Vipraladha: one deceived by her lover. The cheated one, this Nayika is waiting for her lover to come but she sees him going to another woman’s home
5. Swadhinapatika: one having her lover or husband under her total control
6. Kalahandarita: one who is separated from her lover after quarreling, turns him away and is unhappy
7. Proshitpatika: when this nayika looks at his picture she thinks of him when he is away on sojourn
8. Abhisarika: one who travels away to meet her lover for the rendezvous. She encounters various obstacles like thunderstorms, rain and lightning. A serpent crosses her path, frightening her.

Ms. Gupta has collaborated with many prominent performers and performance companies such as the Brian Webb Dance Company, Stage Polaris, Vinok Folkdance Ensemble and the Edmonton Opera. Mrs. Gupta’s recent work has combined her love for Indian dance with the surroundings of her Canadian home.
