They indicate '''where''', '''when''', and '''how''' something happens. For beginners, mastering prepositions will help you construct sentences that are not just grammatically correct but also contextually rich.  


The state is famous for its classical dance form called Odissi, which originated in the temples of Odisha. Odissi is a graceful and expressive dance style, characterized by intricate footwork, hand gestures, and fluid body movements. It is a visual delight that beautifully portrays the rich cultural traditions of the region.
