A Short Note on Gharana

Source of the style is manifested with infulence and inspiration of Mahari (Dev Dashi) tradition.

With exposure for more than 30 years to different Gharanna of Odissi dance, such as, Gotipua gharana of Lt. Deb Prasad Das, innovative style of Padma Bhusan Kelu Charan Mohapatra, Mahari Gharanna of Padma Sri Pankaj Charan Das and in addition to specific body gesture transcribed by Bio-Mechanic principle the style has been expanded and suplimented by me. I got advantage of enriching my style being the direct disciple of all the gurus named above and exposures to Hindustani Vocal, Sitar and Chau Dance.

The main characteristic of this style is the implication of Bhramaris to all the link of the body guiding all motion by circular movement. It combines grace with vigour with several body deflection torso movement and exaggerated bends. The exeggerated bends in this school are almost entirely dictated by articulated Udvahita movements which is full of smooth transition from one body deflection to other, which adopts the Bio-Mechanical principles of body movement for perfect balancing of the body.
