| Odissi - A Dance of Sculpture (DV video) |
 |
‘Odissi - A Dance of Sculpture’ traces the evolution of dance as ritual worship in the medieval temples of Orissa, eastern India. Using sculpture carved upon the walls of these ancient shrines, the story begins more than 2000 years ago in the early Jain caves of Udaigiri and culminates in the magnificent 13th century temple of Konark, where Orissan temple architecture achieved its final flowering. |
| This 2-part documentary is a unique educational resource bringing together architecture, sculpture, religion and dance. It serves as a valuable contribution to the documentation of the inter-related threads of India’s cultural heritage. |
|
The DVD comes with an illustrated script
and maps so that visitors to Orissa can make their own informed
search of the ritual that inspired the creation of Odissi
in 20th century India. |
