Leading Odissi dancer Rahul Acharya at the Raja Rani Temple in Bhuvaneswar, Odissa..."It felt like he was frozen in that posture.. As a photographer, it was a real pleasure to work with him" - Sam Kumar Photography became an integral part of classical dance. A photographers work speaks directly and needs no language to communicate the expression. In fact a good picture reaches the mind of the viewer in all completeness, vivid and with an emotional strength that lasts long. The power of the lens has the strength to depict dance in all its glory and the background comes to life.. Introduction: Earlier too we covered photography in PriyaLasya. It's amazing to capture the thought of an expert through his/her pictures and about his/her subject. Dancer's abhinaya (expression), bhangima (pose and posture) transcend all known barriers of time, language and culture. It's the beauty of presenting what is in its most pristine form. Only an expert would be successful if he/she is capable of connecting the environs to the viewer. Here is an instance of such photograph, subject, dancers, and time preserved in stones that turn into life by mere sight. Presenting the work of Sam Kumar. In his words..

It felt like he was frozen in that posture.. As a photographer, it was a real pleasure to work with him. The Location Rajarani Temple: Rajarani Temple is an 11th-century Hindu temple located in Bhubaneswar, the capital city of Odisha (Orissa previously), India. The temple is believed to have been known originally as Indreswara. It is locally known as a "love temple" because of the erotic carvings of women and couples in the temple. Rajarani Temple is built in the pnahcratha style on a raised platform with two structures: a central shrine called the vimana (sanctum) with a bada (curvilinear spire) over its roof rising to a height of 18 m, and a viewing hall called jagamohana with a pyramidal roof. The temple was constructed of dull red and yellow sandstone locally called "Rajarani". There are no images inside the sanctum, and hence it is not associated with a specific sect of Hinduism but broadly classified as Saivite based on the niches.
