Bhubaneswar: One of the oldest surviving classical dance forms of India, Odissi is known for its lithe body movements, beautiful postures and facial expressions. Drawn to its lyrical grace, several foreign artistes have made it their own and among them is Paris-based Mahina Khanum.<\/p>\n
From a Sambalpuri duet with internationally-acclaimed Odissi dancer Saswat Joshi of Odisha at the iconic Eiffel Tower to organizing events such as the Paris-Odisha Week and the Paris Indian Classical Dance Festival, she has been striving to showcase the beauty of Odissi before the global audience for the last 10 years.<\/p>\n
