Rhythms of Gotipua dance, Orissa

As adolescence strikes, energies are automatically channelized in this village, since children are learners of the Gotipua dance style which stems of asanas and acrobats.

Asana practice offers strength and flexibility. Asana practice requires yam and niyam. Yam, Niyam, Asana... the ashtang process continues to build and ends up in a contributive growth.

The dance expresses stories of divinity reigning in this land of Jagannath Puri.

When such individuals grow, they grow integrated with internal core and body strength and values from the ancient texts; and skills of an expert - Bal, buddhi yukti and bhakti.
