Odissi by Guru Ranjana Gauhar (Padmashree & SNA Awardee) and disciples
Ardhanarishwara
Based on Adi Shankaracharya 8th century prayer and Kalidas’s Raghuvansham, Ardhanarishwara depicts the half male/ half female Shiv-Shakti divinity contrasting attributes: Parvati’s beautiful complexion like that of the Champa flower. And Shiva’s, coloured like burnt incense. The curly black hair of Paravti is adorned with pearls while Shiva’s dark tresses are in an ascetic’s matted locks.

I feel like I'm watching Shiva Sakti🤲🏼 Forgive my ignorance, but I feel like this particular choreography is very modern and the music also. I may be wrong about that, but I feel like it is done in a very successful way. I don't feel like it takes away from the beauty of "traditional" Odissi. Again, I am no expert, I merely relish in the beauty of Odissi from time to time.❤
glad you enjoyed
