Known as one of the four main pillars of Odissi, his style of Odissi (Mayadhar Raut Paddhati) is Bhava Pradan. The book captures the dynamic years of the 30s, 40s to the 70s in the world of Odissi. It describes in detail, the struggle and hardships undergone in redefining and codifying Odissi as one of the prominent dance forms of India. It elaborates the initial years of all the Gurus and Scholars together at Jayantika and tbe making of Kala Vikas Kendra. Illustrated with rare photographs, it also gives a detailed and delightful glimpse into the world of Kalakshetra. This is a story that had to be told.
“It is a great pleasure for me to write about Odissi Yaatra written on the life of the world renowned Odissi Guru Mayadhar Raut. A respected performer and a great teacher of Odissi, his contribution to Odissi for the last 60 years is very well documented by Madhumita and her shishya Aadya. I am sure that this book will be a great help to all those who want to know the history of Odissi and its development.” - Pt. Debu Chaudhuri (sitar maestro and recipient of Padma Bhushan)
“The story of Odissi dance through the life of Guru Mayadhar Raut is beautifully written and illustrated with rare pictures in this book.

“Odissi did exist as a distinctive style of dance avout 2,000 years ago when Natyashastra, one of the ancient Indian treatises on dance and dramaturgy, was written. Aesthetic sensuousness, flowing movements and rare lyrical grace within a classical framework have won for Odissi dance an ever increasing clientele during last three decades.
Odissi – What, Why and How... traces the origin and decelopment of Odissi dance with a special emphasis on the renaissance years of odissi, the period which saw the efflorescence of odissi as it came to be recognized as a prominent classical dance of India.The book also throws light on the technical aspects of odissi, based on Natyashastra Abhinaya Darpana and Abhinaya Chandrika. Detailed chapters have been devoted to Navarasas, various moods of nayika, feet positions and more. A special section is dedicated to Aharya (adornments) and vachika (Musical accompaniment of Odissi).
The book aims to a source of joy for Odissi dancers and connoisseurs alike.” (jacket)
“Outstanding research work in describing the origin and post – origin development of Odissi as a classical dance. Madhumita’s book will be an effective reference material in seeking the fact – finding mission of Odissi will be an insipiration to all young scholars and dancers of the 21st century.”
