Gotipua dance:
=> It is a traditional dance form in the state of Odisha, and the precursor of Odissi classical dance.
=> The dance is executed by a group of boys who perform acrobatic figures inspired by the life of Radha and Krishna.
=> They dress as women to praise Lord Jagannath and Lord Krishna.
=> Costume:The traditional dress is a “Kanchula”, a bright coloured blouse with shiny embellishment.
=> Also an apron-like and embroidered silk cloth is tied around the waist like a frill worn around the legs: it is called “Nibibandha”.
History of the Dance:
=> In ancient times, the temples of Orissa had female dancers called “Devadasi or Mahari” who were devoted to Lord Jagannath.
=> During the time of Bhoi king Rama Chandra Dev in the 16th century, with the decline of the Mahari dancers, the class of the boy dancers came into existence in Orissa, to carry out the tradition.
=> Abhinaya Chandrika”, an ancient text on Odissi Dance written by Maheshwar Mahapatra during the 15th century, gives a detailed study of the dance movements.
