Beijing/Bhubaneswar: Chinese enthusiasts of Indian culture and art forms danced to the graceful rhythms of Odissi, the classical dance form, at a workshop organised by the Indian Embassy in Beijing.
A video posted on X by the Indian Embassy Thursday showed participants learning the steps of Odissi.
The half-day session conducted by acclaimed Odissi dancers Santosh Ram and Samir Kumar Panigrahi at the Swami Vivekananda Cultural Centre, Embassy of India, Beijing, attracted a full house.
The highlight of the performance was the Dashavatara, the ten incarnations of Lord Vishnu, retold through dance by the duo. Rohita Pradhan performed his own magic with a solo on the mardala, the Embassy said in its post.
The Embassy’s Deputy Chief, Shweta Singh, addressed the gathering.
