I hope the dance you dance continues an tradition uninterrupted, albeit forevermore so and without an annual cease. L'Chaim!
Mesmerising dancing! Enchanting music! Wow! Please could someone explain the words, the meaning, what the dancing means, what type of music is it, what type of dance is it?
Very balanse girl !!!! Kalpa vriksha !!! yesssssssssssss I'm now about
Maryam, thank you for this deeply moving performance. As a kid when I first learned this sequence, I felt reverent and cleansed somehow. Namaste to your Guru 🙏✨You are a credit to him. We are connected in a small way since I’m relearning Odissi from his daughter-in-law.
😀 😀 😀
The greatest thing about Indian culture is the legacy of ancestors who created such an intricate and rich music theory imbibed with spirituality.
TOPCLASS AND MAGYSTIC
I watched this vid more than a hundred times and still can't get enough. Her movements, the music, her smile and formost the bells on her feet makes this a DIVINE mix in Heaven a real Blessing!! Thank you very much. Proud to be Hindoe namaste from Holland
A culture so great and ancient that our Western culture is like a toddler in comparison. A wonderful way of expressing herself, an expression of her faith. WONDERFUL ❤️
In another life I want to be this dancer. So beautiful.
we evolved from apelike ancestor now extinct.. no gods involved.. 😀
dancing to an imaginary friend that does not exist.. but its pretty at least
Different cultures, customs, architecture, foods etc are so fascinating 👌.
踊り手さんは踊っている時は神なんだろうなぁと思いました。神々しいです。でもちゃんと足が見たかったなー。
Грация
Excellent performance.
Please can the closeups . They obfuscate the dance. Show the body dancing.
Nice dance I enjoyed it
Ridiculous. And badly screen cropped. And if she's indian I'm the pope…
the music would make a great rap base
Beautiful. Goddess bless 🙂
Круто, очень успокаивает❤
That was very cool.
RIEN n'est plus beau que les danses indiennes <3
even the highest delhi sultanate men could find a bride from the Jains who would convert. and it was done with respect and equality…..till this day, delhi hindus harbor no real hate for the muslim rule…because it came down steady and with due course. amen. and not just amen…but even i know that jain girls light up the place like a muslim …
She is gorgeous. It's like watching a serpent dance. Stunning ❤ 👏
Raaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaacist
Очень красиво,мастерское владение телом,ваш танец прекрасен!❤❤❤
💖♥️💙🏆☀️🥇💫
Pitti, so badly videotaped
The country falling to pieces, "people" doing animal things on the streets, cast system, racism, but hey! pretty dances!
Looked like a dancing duck to me, or one trying to cross an asphalt highway at midday with air temp around 96*F – 98*F. At that air temp the black asphalt is around 148*F to 155*F in direct sun. That would make you or your duck do this dance. The lady is very pretty and her clothes are too. Just kidding folks, I thought their cultural dance is very nice and is a dance indicative of India and her peoples.
Was für eine Ausstrahlung!
这位舞者超脱了肉体的痛苦
Truly stunning. I could only watch 3 minutes as I didnt want to continue tearing up. Very powerful , and beautiful!
Спасибо, что это запечатлели на видео и мы можем это лицезреть! Это потрясающе!
I'm half Indian half Welsh. Both beautiful cultures. Bury me in India though, when I perish…
A most wonderful experience, warm greetings and humble respect from Denmark 🙂
Hi! Very nice dansing, Maryam.. I like fast hindu devotional dance with spiritual passion
Beauty in motion, but I laud the fact that when the dancer spreads her legs—- the true beauty UNFOLDS protecting her womanhood with pleated fabric. How creative. Kudos.
Hi

판타지 속으로 들어간 느낌!!
