Folk songs and dance forms have been developed mainly out of celebrating socio-religious rituals and ceremonies. Songs and dances are integral ingredients of folk theatre. Each folk form has its specific community but their language is same. If we look into the origin and evolution of folk theatre; we have to admit that this theatrical tradition is interconnected with human civilization. Since the Vedic period, people have developed potential artistic qualities like songs, dance and many religious rituals to express their emotions, hope and aspirations. The musicality is one of the greatest characteristics of these folk dramas. The musical instruments used in such folk performances are developed indigenously and are a unique characteristic of these folk plays. Western Odisha is culturally influenced by assemblage of several traditions in several religious rituals. During the last quarter of the twentieth century, research and studies in the area of folk songs and dances along with folk theatre of this region have been revived and recognized, including the modern "Krushnaguru Bhajan", one type of folk lyrics/songs and Danda (Danda Yatra and Danda Nata), which are considered to be a part of the oldest art forms in India. -
