Discover an Odissi tribute to the Konark Sun Temple, merging dance, music, and spiritual depth in homage to timeless artistry.
Rahul Acharya, celebrated as the ‘Divine Dancer’, presents a tribute to the timeless beauty of the 13th-century Konark Sun Temple in ‘Konark: A Glimpse into Eternity’. Known internationally for his technical precision and emotional depth, Acharya brings the ancient dance form of Odissi to life, embodying the artistry and spiritual force etched into the temple’s intricate carvings.
In this performance, Acharya is accompanied by a traditional Odissi orchestra from Bhubaneswar, weaving together compositions such as Shabda Swara Pata, Pallavi, and Mukti Shloka on Suryanarayana. The result is a rich, evocative experience that brings the legacy of Konark to life, merging dance, poetry, and sculpture in a powerful ode to this architectural marvel.
With over four decades of dedication to Odissi, Acharya’s journey began under Guru Durga Charan Ranbir and has been honoured with accolades such as the Ustad Bismillah Khan Yuva Puraskar and the Aditya Vikram Birla Kala Kiran Award. His performances have captivated audiences worldwide at prestigious festivals, including the Khajuraho Dance Festival and the Konark Festival.
