The term Lāsya , in the context of Hindu mythology, describes the dance performed by Goddess Parvati as it expresses happiness and is filled with grace and beauty. She is believed to have danced the Lāsya in response to the male energy of the cosmic dance of Tandava performed by Lord Shiva. In a literal sense, Lasya means beauty, happiness, enchanting, and grace. Lasya is an element which is graceful, delicate and expresses emotions on a gentle level. It is associated with the dance of women because Parvati, the consort of Lord Shiva taught it to Usha (daughter of Sage Banasura). Then she passed on this art to women. Lasya is mainly of four types: SHRINKALA, LATA, PINDI and BHEDYAKA.Dictionary of Hindu Lore and Legend () by Anna Dallapiccola
