The Devadasis of India: From Temple Dancers to a Forgotten Legacy

Their journey from respected temple dancers to stigmatized figures associated with prostitution is a complex tale intertwined with historical, social, and political changes. This video explores the rich history of Devadasis, their role in temple worship, and the tragic transformation they underwent during British colonial rule.
