10. Importance of Odissi Music
• Odissi music is the finest reconciliation of harmony with
melody, which suffers no diminution of the essential
quality of the classical music. The individual character of
Odissi Music makes every recital an interpretation and
self-expression. The uniqe identity of Odissi classical
music lies in its presentation with equal importance to
the Odissi dance and its classical ornamentation. Both
Odissi Music and Odissi Dance have retained its
distinctive identity in spite of diversity in languge,
religion, and culture that was brought to Odisha’s
geographical localization by bridging the southern and
nothern section of India.It is ironic that Odissi music
which is soul of Gotipua dance still continue to endure
the debate for its classical status whereas Odissi dance
form has already attained the classical status along
with its contemporary classical dance forms of India.

11. RAGAS

Hindustani and Karnataki classical music. The

12. Musical instruments used in Odissi
• Odissi dance is always accompanied by Odissi
music and with a number of musical
instruments. The musical notes that are
accompanied with Odissi dance are the same
as the music of Odissa itself. There was a
move to classify Odissi as a separate classical
system.
