ODISSI-INDIAN
(Acrylic on canvas-90cm x 60cm)
Odissi originates from the state of Odisha, in eastern India. It is the oldest surviving dance form of India on the basis of archaeological evidences. It is particularly distinguished from other classical Indian danceforms by the importance it places upon the Tribhangi (literally: three parts break), the independent movement of head, chest and pelvis. This dance is characterised by various Bhangas (Stance), which involves stamping of the foot and striking various postures as seen in Indian sculptures.
