Odissi, the most elegant form of
classical dance in India owes its origin from the Mahari dance. It evolved
over the ages through a rich tradition of Guru Sisya Parampara. This dance is
an essential part of the temple rituals of Sri Jagannath at Puri. The
Debadashi system as well as the creative spirit of the scluptors has eleveted
it to an aesthetic pedestal. The exquisite masnory of the Konark, Puri &
Bhubaneswar overwhelms the visitors. The style & posture of the images
carved out on stone, the Mudras of the Nata & Natees depicted on the
temples not only reflect the finest cratmanship but also the rich heritage of
Odissi Dance. Odissi Dance, with the breathtaking rhythm and the euphony
combined together, enchants the hearts, elevates the mind to the level of
bliss. Episodes from the Ramayan, the Geeta Gobinda & the Srimad
Bhagabatam when performed through Odissi Dance, fill the atmosphere with
devine joy. Here in Dhenkanal, there are a number of dance schools which are imparting courses on Odissi Dance. |
