Debadhara - Delhi: An Academy of Odissi Dance

Debadhara is a pioneering organization which upholds the unique style of Late Guru Debaprasad Das and promotes a synthetic gharana imbibing essence from the tribal, folk and classical dance forms of Odisha. Odissi contains not just the Mahari (temple dancers) and Gotipua (boy dancers) traditions. It is, in fact, a reflection of the samskriti / culture of Odisha as a whole.

The aim of this institute is to impart training in Odissi dance and to promote the ancient arts of this country at global stage. Debadhara Delhi was established in the year 2003 by Guru Binayak Panda
