Performers showcase Indian culture and heritage through an Odissi dance performance at the FIDE World Chess Championships, 2000 in Delhi. New Delhi will hold the first six rounds of the championship and the finals to be held in Tehran. "Odissi is the traditional dance form of Odisha which owes its origin to the temple dances of the "Devadasis". Odissi dance history is traced between the 8th and 11th century, when the kings took great pride in excelling in the arts of dance and music in this period. Jayadeva's 'Geeta-Govinda' written in the 12th century, the bible of an Odissi dancer has stupendous influence in the arts of Odisha Culture. Odissi performances replicate the lores of the eighth incarnate of Vishnu, Lord Krishna."- Indian Mirror This footage is part of the broadcast stock foota
