Temple dance
Temple dance denotes a religious performance held in the temples, such as sadir, prescribed by Agamas (scriptures that codified temple rituals, etc.).[1][2] Traces of these ancient temple dances of India are seen in Bharatanatyam and Odissi.[3]
The sacred Hindu temple dance used to be performed by devadasis and Mahari Dance, who were supposed to manifest in the material body the heavenly dance of apsaras.[1]
