Dibakar Parida

Abstract :

Odisha is considered as the land of arts and the music of this land shall remain forever. this a land where, the sweet chirping sounds of birds amid the dense green forests here, the rhythmic sound beats produced by the waterfalls and rivers, the roå sounds of sea waves exist only on this land and all these nature’s gift’s are reflected in the art, literature, music and dance of this land which is not found in other art forms. There is uniqueness in the development of Aryan, Dravid and austik. Odissi style of classical music has some similarity with Hindustani ‘Dhrupad’ style. ‘Gamak’ is common to both, though Odissi also adopts the ‘Tom Nom’ sounds. The percussion instrument played with Odissi music is the ‘Mardal’, which is similar to ‘Pakhawaj’.
