Odissi is based on a popular devotion of Lord Krishna and the verses of the Sanskrit play geet Govinda are used to depict the love and devotion to god. The Odissi dancers use their head, bust and torso in soft flowing movements to express specific moods and emotions.
The form is curvaceous , concentrating on the tribhand or the division of the body in to three parts., head, bust and torso ; the musdras and the expressions are similar to those of Bharat NAtyam. Odissi performances are replete with lores of the eight incarnation of Vishnu , Lord Krishna . It is a soft , Lyrical classical dance which depicts the ambience of Orissa and the philosophy of its most popular deity, Lord Jagannnath , whose temple is in puri. On the temple walls of Bhubaneshwar , Puri and konarks the dance sculpture of Odissi are clearly visible.
