The dance form has been extensively depicted in the sculptures of Brahmeswara temple and Sun Temple at Konark.Odissi, the essence of the state of Orissa. Odissi is the highly inspired, impassioned, ecstatic and sensuous form of dance. Odissi was performed in the temples of Orissa as a religious rite and offering by the Devadasis known as 'Maharis'.
