The tradition
Gaudiya Nritya (Bengali: Gaur̤īẏa Nṛtya or Gour̤īyo Nrityo) is a classical dance form of Bengal. This dance expressed religious stories through songs written and composed to the ragas and talas of Gaudiya music by ancient poets, especially Vaishnavism. Gaudiya Nritya performances have also expressed ideas of other traditions related to the Hindu deities Shiva and Ganesha, as well as Shakta concepts. It was reconstructed by Mahua Mukherjee in the 1980s and a research scholarship has since been awarded for it by the Indian Ministry of Culture.¶
