The basic stance of Odissi dance which takes inspiration from odishan sculptures carved on the temple walls. These are like Alasakanya indolent damsels and musicians like Mardala, Bina badini , Manjira and Benu (flute) etc. This segment of these performances will make the sculpture dancing alive on stage. This is a pure dance number. This is a fast paced dance number carefully crafted to replicate the sculptures found in the famous SUN temple of Konark. The dancers effortlessly make transition between the two prominent postures of Odissi: Tribanga and Chouka. This presentation of pure dance has been choreographed by Smt. Meera Das to include Bandha Nrutya, an acrobatic form of dance.
Rhythm is composed by Sri Satchidananda Das and Sri Dhaneswar Swain.
