Culture of Odisha (ଓଡ଼ିଶା)
Odissi, also known as Orissi is one of the eight classical dance forms of India. It starts from the state of Odisha, in eastern India.It is especially different from other classical Indian dance forms by the importance it places upon the Tribhangi (literally: three parts break), the independent movement of head, chest and hip and upon the basic square (way of standing/way of thinking) known as Chauka or Chouka that shows (by using a physical object to represent an idea or emotion) Lord Jagannath.This dance is seen as different Bhangas ((way of standing/way of thinking)), which involves stamping of the foot and striking different (ways of standing/attitudes) as seen in Indian sculptures. The common Bhangas are Bhanga, Abanga, Atibhanga and Tribhanga.Odissi classical dance is about the wonderful/God-related love of Krishna and his partner Radha, mostly drawn from compositions by the important/famous Oriya poet Jayadeva, who lived in the 12th century CE.
Chhau dance (or Chau dance) is a form of tribal martial dance attributed to origins in Mayurbhanj princely state of Odisha and seen in the Indian states of West Bengal, Jharkhand and Odisha.
Mahari Dance is one of the important dance forms of Odisha. Mahari dance, started in the temples of Odisha. History of Odisha provides (event(s) or object(s) that prove something) of the Devadasi (group of people with very strong beliefs) in Odisha. Devadasis were dancing girls who were dedicated to the temples of Odisha. The Devadasis in Odisha were known as Maharis and the dance (sang, danced, acted, etc., in front of people) by them came to be known as Mahari Dance.
Pala is a (like nothing else in the world) form of balladry in Odisha, which artistically combines elements of theatre, classical Odissi music, highly made better/made more pure Oriya and Withoutkrit poetry, clever humor, and humour. The literal meaning of Pala is turn. It is more fancy (or smart) than the other Oriya song-related tradition, Daskathia.Pala can be presented in three different ways. First one is known as Baithaki Pala or `seated`, in which the performers sit on the ground throughout. The other one is Thia Pala or `standing`, which is much/a lot more popular and beautifully more making happy (by meeting a need or reaching a goal). The third one is called the Badi Pala, which is a kind of Thia Pala, in which two groups fight for excellence. This is the most entertaining, as there is a little bit of competition.
Gotipua dance is another form of dance in Odisha. In Oriya everyday speech language Gotipua means single boy. The dance performance done by a single boy is known as Gotipua dance. When (loving fancy things too much) and declination came in to Devadasi or Mahari tradition due to different reasons this Gotipua dance tradition changed (and got better) as story (after this one) as these performance were practiced to please God.
