Gotipua
Gotipua is a traditional dance form in the state of Odisha, India, and the precursor of Odissi classical dance.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://orissatourism.gov.in/new/GOTIPUA%20DANCE%20FESTIVAL.htm )〕 It has been performed in Orissa for centuries by young boys, who dress as women to praise Jagannath and Krishna. The dance is executed by a group of boys who perform acrobatic figures inspired by the life of Radha and Krishna. The boys begin to learn the dance at an early age until adolescence, when their androgynous appearance changes. In the Odia language Gotipua, means "single boy" (''goti-pua''). Raghurajpur, Orissa (near Puri) is an historic village known for its Gotipua dance troupes.
==Dancers==
To transform into graceful feminine dancers the boys do not cut their hair, instead styling it in a knot and weaving garlands of flowers into it. They make up their faces with mixed white and red powder. ''Kajal'' (black eyeliner) is broadly applied around the eyes to give them an elongated look. The bindi usually round, is applied to the forehead, surrounded with a pattern made from sandalwood. Traditional paintings adorn the face, which are unique to each dance school.
The costume has evolved over time. The traditional dress is a ''Kanchula'', a brightly coloured blouse with shiny decorations. An apron-like, embroidered silk cloth (''nibibandha'') is tied around the waist like a ruffle and worn around the legs. Some dancers still adhere to tradition by wearing a ''pattasari'': a piece of thin fabric about long, worn tightly with equal lengths of material on both sides and a knot on the navel. However, this traditional dress is often replaced by a newly designed cloth which is easier to put on.
Dancers wear specially designed, beaded jewellery: necklaces, bracelets, armbands and ear ornaments. Nose-piercing jewellery has been replaced with a painted motif. Ankle bells are worn, to accentuate the beats tapped out by the feet. The palms of the hands and soles of the feet are painted with a red liquid known as ''alta''. The costume, jewellery and bells are considered sacred.
