Abstract	This journal explores the profound relationship between Odissi dance, one of India's classical dance forms, and the Jagannath cult, a significant religious tradition centered around Lord Jagannath in the state of Odisha. Through an in-depth analysis of historical, cultural, and religious perspectives, this study delves into the origins, evolution, and interconnections between Odissi dance and the Jagannath cult.
