In India, a devadasi is a female artist who is dedicated to the worship and service of a deity or a temple for the rest of her life. In addition to taking care of the temple and performing rituals, these women also learn and practice classical Indian dances such as Bharatanatyam , Mohiniyattam , Kuchipudi , and Odissi. Their status as dancers, musicians, and consorts was an essential part of temple worship. Between the sixth and thirteenth centuries, Devadasis had a high rank and dignity in society and were exceptionally affluent as they were seen as the protectors of the arts.
During this period, royal patrons provided them with gifts of land, property, and jewellery. Devadasis were expected to live a life of celibacy, however, there have been several exceptions. During the period of British rule in the Indian subcontinent, kings who were the patrons of temples lost their power, thus the temple artist communities also lost their significance. The colonial view of Devadasi practices remains debated as the British colonial government were unable to distinguish the Devadasis from non-religious street dancers.
The Devadasi system is still in existence in rudimentary form, but under pressure from social activism at different times, some state governments have outlawed it, such as Andhra Pradesh with its Devdasis Prohibition of Dedication Act and Madras with its Devdasis Act. The practice became significant when one of the great queens of the Somavamshi dynasty decided that in order to honour the gods, certain women who were trained in classical dancing, should be married to the deities.
Their main duties, in addition to committing to a life without marriage to a mortal, in the common, popular sense , were to take care of a temple and learn classical Indian dances, usually the Bharatanatyam , which they would perform at temple rituals. Patrons were considered to have higher status for their ability to financially sponsor Devadasis. According to temple worship rules, or Agamas , dance and music are the necessary aspects of daily puja for temple deities.
