Moksha | Odissi Dance

Moksha literally means “spiritual liberation”. This dance represents a spiritual culmination for the dancer who soars into the realm of pure aesthetic delight. The dance moves onto a crescendo that is thrilling to both the eye and the ear. With the cosmic sound of the “Om”, the dance dissolves into nothingness - just like deliverance of the soul in real life.
