#bilaharipallavi#odissi#odissidance#avipsa#kelucharanmohapatra Bilahari Pallavi In Odissi as in most of the other Indian Classical dance forms, dance is split into 2 categories: Nritta & Nritya. Nritta is the technical, pure dance with no meaning as such. Nritya is expressional dance. Pallavi is an example of pure dance. Pallavi literally means blossoming. This is applicable not only to the dance , but also to the music, which accompanies it. Pallavi starts with slow, graceful & lyrical movements of the eyes, neck, torso & feet & slowly builds in a crescendo to climax in a fast tempo at the end. Pallavi is named after the raga it is set to, today’s pallavi is set to raga Bilahari..
