Widely believed to be the oldest Indian dance tradition, odissi has
transformed over the centuries from a sacred temple ritual to a
transnational genre performed-and consumed-throughout the world.
Building on ethnographic research in multiple locations, this book
charts the evolution of odissi dance and reveals the richness,
rigor, and complexity of the form as it is practiced today. As
author and dancer-choreographer Nandini Sikand shows, the story of
odissi is ultimately a story of postcolonial India, one in which
identity, nationalism, tradition, and neoliberal politics
dramatically come together.
