== Origin == Dhimsa originated in Koraput district in the Odisha State, but has almost become an official dance of Visakhapatnam. Dhimsa means "sound of the foot steps". Dhimsa is in the groove with the culture of this region, especially with places near Araku Valley and Borra Caves. Earlier unmarried youth used to dance. There is no discrimination as to who gets to join in the dance. It is generally played as a relief time during their working hours. Each dance movement resembles their daily activity like picking leaves or plants, farming activities, traditional culture during matrimonial alliances, protecting them from wildlife etc.
