The history of Odissi, one of India's most beautiful dances, begins thousands of years ago in the temples located in the Eastern region of India. The Indian Classical Dances evolved as a spiritual expression of devotion and surrender.

Its complexity makes it captivating through its rhythmic and melodic movements, full of beauty and meaning. One of the essences of Odissi as a dance style lies in its sculptural quality.
