NRUTYANGANA * ORIGIN

Thank you so much for clicking Nrutyangana. We, Nrutyangana Odissi Dance Academy are one of the best Odissi dance school in India. Nrutyangana Odissi Dance School solely concentrates on purely Indian classical dance style. This Odissi dance school is one of the best Odissi dance school Orissa. Nrutyangana Odissi dance school is extremely renowned and one the most unique Odissi dance school in Dhenkanal, Orissa. Now, this unique dance form has crossed its boundaries and has become one of the best Odissi dance school Japan. Turning back the pages of time you can have a glimpse of this Odissi Dance form that has unique history. Odissi, the culture & heritage of Orissa, which is one of the oldest dance forms of India.

Odissi dates back to the second century BC, as documented in stone sculptures/inscriptions of “Rani Gumpha” at Udyagiri. However, it blossomed as a vibrant temple dance between 11^th and 15^th century AD, performed by ‘Devdasis’ referred to as ‘Maharis’ with patronage around Lord Jaganatha temple, Puri. Different lively sculptures in Lord Jaganath Temple, Konark Temple & several other temples bear testimony to the popular dance by male dancers (Gotipuas) in 17^th & 18^th century AD. After independence, Odissi got recognized as one of the classical dance forms of India with a distinct fine part repertoire. Soft & lyrical, odissi is distinctly feminine and strongly permitted by ‘Bhakti Shringar’.Odissi Performances are usually based on the popular devotion to lord Krishna & to Orissa’s most popular deity, Lord Jaganath.

Verses of the Sanskrit play ‘Geet Govinda’ Composed by 12^th century poet, Jayadeve, are used to depict divine love. Though, it is based on ‘Lasyas’ but continuous infusion of ‘tandavs’ have lent unique balance. It encompasses both Nritta & Nrutya. Chauka & Trivanga lead grace to the feminine charm. By combining dimension of Angika, Bachika, Aharya & Satwika, Odissi rightfully claims to be a complete dance style. Simple traditional sarees with blazing borders offsets the gracious ensemble. This remarkable combination of spirituality, sensuality & lyricism make the performance & enjoyment of Odissi dance recital an unforgettable experience. You can also be the part of this best Odissi Dance School and touch the real fragrance of this old historic and traditional dance form. We, Nrutyangana Odissi Dance Academy, well-comes you all to be a part of us.
