Devdasis

Devdasis 742
Of the few ancient practices still prevalent in India is the Devdasi system of Life, whereby the girls were married & dedicated to a deity. In addition to taking care of the temple, and performing rituals they learned and practiced bharatnatyam & other classical Indian arts traditions, and enjoyed a high social status, but the practice degenerated to Institutionalized prostitution in the later years. This work though, is based on the early years of Devadasi system when these women were literally treated next to God.
