In literature, the first references come from the Vedas where dance

As per the ancient treatises, dance is considered as having three

aspects : natya, nritya and nritta. Natya highlights the dramatic

today with the exception of dance-drama forms like Kathakali. Nritya

is essentially expressional, performed specifically to convey the

An Odissi orchestra essentially consists of a pakhawaj 
player (usually the Guru himself), a singer, a flautist, sitar 
or violin player and a manjira player. 
The dancer is adorned in elaborate Oriya silver jewellery 
and a special hair-do. The sari, usually stitched nowadays, 
is unique to the style. In each performance, even a modern 
Odissi dancer still reaffirms the faith of the devadasis or 
maharis where they sought liberation or moksha through 
the medium of dance.
