Sujata Mohapatra 2

Mokshya is the concluding piece in the Odissi repertoire, and parallels the concept of Mokshya in Hindu philosophy, or liberation from material existence and physical bondage and awakening to spiritual awareness. In this fast paced dance, the dancer completely surrenders and is elevated to a state of ecstasy, fulfillment, and bliss. The dance concludes with a universal prayer in praise of the Mother Goddess, Devi.
