The ODISSI tradition existed in three schools : Mahari ; Nartaki and Gotipua.
Maharis were Orissan devadasies or temple girls.Their name deriving from Maha {great} and Nari{Woman}.Thus Mahri means the chosen one.This especially denotes those at the temple of Jagannath Puri.Let us peep into the grandeur of The Lord at puri who is none other than Lord Krishna in company of his brother and sister.The lord is considered as Purushotham , the Lord of the universe or the supreme personality of the universe.Also known as Dham , it is one of the Holy Kshetras of India including temples at Rameshwaram , Dwaraka and Badrinath.
