Prema Mudita | Rambhajan | Odissi Dance | Mahima Bhattacharya

This is an abhinaya’s take on a bhajan - a devotional song; choreographed by Guru Poushali Mukherjee. The dance is episodic in that it showcases multiple episodes from Indian mythology. The sthayi bhava, or dominant expression, is bhakti and the choreography centres around this devotion fervour through episodic narratives. The dance is crafted around the prominent mythological figure, Shri Rama. The presentation is from the perspective of the devotee.
Constructed as a lyrical ballad, the composition has a gentle sway reminiscent of Lord Jagannath’s swaying chariot that is quintessential to the Odissi aesthetic. Brought alive through music, abhinaya, and dance you will recognize three encounters in Shri Rama’s life.
