The love of shiva and Parvati has fulfilled.. This dance is called odissi a very old art and the story they're depicting is the joyful atmosphere of mount Kailash where the two inseparable souls have now become one.. It is the dance of spring in the rigid cold mountains of kailash

India is the source of the Vedas one of the most ancient sacred Scriptures. The Hindu Arabic numbers we use in mathematics came from India specially the concept of zero. Our language in the Philippines has many Sanskrit words because the Great Indian Empire spread to Asia. Natural medicine or ayurveda, Vastu Vidya or the science of building with proper orientation why some buildings have bad luck, Vedic speed math or short methods to calculate complex math problems. And more.

I have loved Indian dance since childhood. When I was little, I used to perform Indian dance at all the festive family events. In my opinion, there is more meditation and philosophy in it than in other dances of the world. One can stay in Indian dance for eternity and always be surprised how infinite it is like our entire universe, and also how infinite human thought itself is.
