<P> Odissi (Odia: ଓଡ଼ିଶୀ Oḍiśī), also referred to as Orissi in older literature, is a major ancient Indian classical dance that originated in the Hindu temples of Odisha--an eastern coastal state of India . Odissi, in its history, was performed predominantly by women, and expressed religious stories and spiritual ideas, particularly of Vaishnavism (Vishnu as Jagannath). Odissi performances have also expressed ideas of other traditions such as those related to Hindu gods Shiva and Surya, as well as Hindu goddesses (Shaktism). </P> <Table> <Tr> <Td> This article is part of a series on </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Th> Odisha </Th> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Th> Governance </Th> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> <Ul> <Li> Governors </Li> <Li> Chief Ministers </Li> <Li> Legislative Assembly </Li> <Li> Political Parties </Li> <Li> High Court </Li> <Li> Police </Li> </Ul> </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Th> Topics </Th> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> <Ul> <Li> Arts </Li> <Li> Cinema </Li> <Li> Cuisine </Li> <Li> Culture <Ul> <Li> Odia Hindu Wedding </Li> </Ul> </Li> <Li> Economy </Li> <Li> Education </Li> <Li> Elections </Li> <Li> Festivals </Li> <Li> Flora and Fauna </Li> <Li> Geography </Li> <Li> Highest Point </Li> <Li> History <Ul> <Li> Historic Sites </Li> <Li> Maritime History </Li> <Li> Rulers </Li> </Ul> </Li> <Li> Language <Ul> <Li> Alphabet </Li> <Li> Act </Li> <Li> Literature </Li> <Li> Morphology </Li> <Li> Kosli </Li> </Ul> </Li> <Li> People <Ul> <Li> Tribes </Li> </Ul> </Li> <Li> Odissi </Li> <Li> Politics </Li> <Li> Sports </Li> <Li> Tourism </Li> </Ul> </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Th> GI Products </Th> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> <Ul> <Li> Berhampur Patta </Li> <Li> Bomkai Sari </Li> <Li> Dhalapathar Parda & Fabrics </Li> <Li> Ganjam Kewda Flower </Li> <Li> Ganjam Kewda Rooh </Li> <Li> Gopalpur Tussar Fabrics </Li> <Li> Habaspuri Saree & Fabrics </Li> <Li> Khandua </Li> <Li> Konark Stone Carving </Li> <Li> Kotpad Handloom fabrics </Li> <Li> Orissa Ikat </Li> <Li> Pattachitra </Li> <Li> Pipili applique work </Li> <Li> Sambalpuri saree </Li> </Ul> </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Th> Districts Divisions </Th> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> <Ul> <Li> Angul </Li> <Li> Balangir </Li> <Li> Balasore </Li> <Li> Bargarh </Li> <Li> Bhadrak </Li> <Li> Boudh </Li> <Li> Cuttack </Li> <Li> Deogarh </Li> <Li> Dhenkanal </Li> <Li> Gajapati </Li> <Li> Ganjam </Li> <Li> Jagatsinghpur </Li> <Li> Jharsuguda </Li> <Li> Jajpur </Li> <Li> Kalahandi </Li> <Li> Kandhamal </Li> <Li> Kendrapada </Li> <Li> Kendujhar </Li> <Li> Khordha </Li> <Li> Koraput </Li> <Li> Malkangiri </Li> <Li> Mayurbhanj </Li> <Li> Nabrangpur </Li> <Li> Nayagarh </Li> <Li> Nuapada </Li> <Li> Puri </Li> <Li> Rayagada </Li> <Li> Sambalpur </Li> <Li> Subarnapur </Li> <Li> Sundargarh </Li> </Ul> </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Odisha Portal </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> <Ul> <Li> </Li> <Li> </Li> <Li> </Li> </Ul> </Td> </Tr> </Table>
