Welcome to the World of Odissi Dance
Odissi is one of the oldest classical dance forms originating from the eastern state of India, Odisha. It is distinguished by its lyricism, sensuality, and emphasis on feminine grace. With its enchanting gestures and expressive eye movements, Odissi tells stories of devotion and mythology.
Performers wear traditional costumes adorned with intricate silver jewelry, and the dance itself is complemented by classical Odissi music which includes both melodic and percussion instruments.
