Odissa Parva - dances from Orissa

Paika dance is a very energetic dance form where only young boys or men perform this art. Derived from the Sanskrit word Padatika meaning the infantry, this dance form has originated from eastern Odisha. It is filled with traditional physical exercises and is performed with a sword and shield in hand to the accompaniment of the dhol. Performers dressed as ‘Paikas‘ or warriors enact battle scenes through dance. The steps are executed with precision and agility which is the highlight of this folk art form.
