Rasika (रसिका) is the feminine of Sanskrit rasika, an adjective built on rasa, the word for taste, essence and feeling. Monier-Williams defines rasika as tasteful and elegant, as having discriminating, aesthetic taste, and as fond of or delighting in something, and as a noun a man full of taste or feeling. In music and dance a rasika is an appreciative listener or connoisseur. Name lists give Rasika as "connoisseur" or "one who appreciates beauty", in line with the dictionary.
