Additional Information

Guru Deba Prasad Award
- Guru Debaprasad Das' contribution to the resurgence of Odissi dance will live on in memory forever.
- This award festival's goals are to honour illustrious Gurus and performers in the fields of classical dance and music, as well as to display and promote Odissi dance, a hybrid gharana of Guru Debaprasad that captures the essence of tribal and traditional traditions.
- Since the three streams of folk, tribal, and traditional Odissi dances are combined in Guruji's Gharana and frequently seen in Guru Gajendra Panda's choreography, mirroring both the sensual lasya aspect and the dynamic tandava part, the name TRIDHARA for the institute is highly appropriate.
