Dancing Under Grey Clouds

India during the initial 20th century was in havoc. The borders were painted in bloodsed red and the interiors still faced the downpour of disservice.

Devadasi -
from Sanskrit devadāsī, literally 'female servant of a god'.

The ghungroo always felt heard whenever adorned in Nayanika's ankles. Her life was filled with sorrows and abuse but she danced through it. She ran away after her parents death to Karanataka but was sold to a priest in Odisha. Her beauty ensnared the old and Youngs but the nasty screams of her soul was left unheard.

Revolutionary-
a person who advocates or engages in political revolution.

Devdatt, an author who writes riot. Resented by his family, he went to Odisha. It's said that temples are the place where the supreme resides. And for him. Temple was the place where he met his Godess.

When the norms clashes with blooming love, will the rain sow devotion or bring upheaval?

She is the temple where my devotion resides,
I am a mere devotee, spellbounded by her.

Devdatt is my salvation, my sun. He is the one for who I dance. The god in my temple, a noble orison of my heart.
