Dance is the loftiest, the most moving, the beautiful of all the arts, because it is no more translation or abstraction from life, it is life itself. In the history of India, it is interesting to note how each religion have developed its own culture. Which manifests itself in dance, music & literature. It is interesting that inspite of all variances the Orissan culture as a whole pre-dominates all the regional cultures throughout India. Dance, music & literature of Orissa have their own significance and have their own contribution to the development of Indian culture. |
