Before every performance comes a moment of stillness.
Before the first beat of the mardala,
Before the lights meet the dancer,
There is this quiet act of devotion..
Alta on the feet,a prayer in colour.
The journey begins here...
One such moment from आrambhikā — Odissi recital of Ojasvi Shahapurkar — this sacred tradition reminds us that every journey on stage begins with humility, preparation, and prayer.
patiently decorating feet with alta ❤️
