Mukteswar Dance Festival

14th to 16th January

The Mukteswar Temple in Bhubaneswar, famous for its elegantly carved arched gateway is considered as one of the finest examples of Odishan architecture. The complex of this legendary temple serves as the venue of the Mukteswar Dance Festival.

This festival celebrates the unrivalled charisma of Odissi, the classical dance form of Odisha. Star Odissi dancers are tapping their feet to the strokes of the accompanying instruments like mardal mesmerize the audience with their classic attire and graceful movements.

Solo, duet and group performances by these classical dancers, their abhinaya, bhangi and mudra give the onlookers a transcendental experience.
