This enchanting classical dance form of Orissa, traces its origin to the temple dances of the 'Devadasis' (temple dancers). An unparalleled grace and bewitching charm makes Odissi a performer’s delight, often attaining postures to a sculptor’s delight. Odissi diligently portrays the aesthetic charm of ‘Natya’ (acting) and the brilliance of Nritta, (dance). Taking most of its themes from Jayadeva’s ‘Geeta Govinda’, which is replete with elements of love and devotion, Odissi serves as the ideal abode for its expression. It is a soft, lyrical classical dance. Sustaining the immaculate beauty of Odissi is Sujata Mohapatra, a blessed disciple of the great Kelucharan Mohapatra. Her passion for the dance goes beyond just performance and is evident from her association with Srjan, a premier institute for Odissi dance in India. Savour the immaculate beauty of Odissi in full bloom through Sujata Mohapatra, a blessed disciple of the great Kelucharan Mohapatra.
