ODISSI


As we all know GITAGOVINDAM is a lyrical treatise in which Poet Saint Jaidev has shown his mastery in music and dance along with his dauntless devotion to VISHNU.He has portrayed the science of LOVE at a totally different plane.It lends itself to be adapted to the different musical versions and dance performance.Because of its religious fervour , it was adapted by temple dancers.Originating in Orissa it has travelled to Bengal , Gujarat ,South India and even Nepal.Raga and Tala came to be assigned to these lyrics and are used for different occasions to be sung or danced.
