The classicality of Odishi music

A research work on the classical aspects of Odissi music. This work is an humble capitulation of the author's addoration of the great tradition of music that evolved with all its glory in Kalinga, Utkala and Udra, now called Odishi. For exaltation of Odishi music to a classical status, the author undertakes a deep study and presents the exhausive treatment of the development of various aspects in succession methodically in the nature of a chronicle vis-a-vis Hindustani and Camatic music. The book deals with historical, theoretical and practical facets of Odishi music in detail with the structural and laudatory analysis supported by corroborative evidence from the inscriptional, sculptural, textual, oral and other sources. This book is not only an addition to the available literature in the subject, but also a solid testimonial for the classical identity of Odishi music. - From the book
