Performance of Gaudiya Nritya by Mahua Mukherjee

Gaudiya Nritya

Gaudiya Nritya (Bengali: গৌড়ীয় নৃত্য) or Gauriya Nritya, is a Bengali dance tradition.^[1]^[2]^[3] It originates from Gauda, also known as Gaur, in Bengal.^[4]

It has been reconstructed by Mahua Mukherjee.^[3]^[5] It is not recognised as an Indian classical dance by the Sangeet Natak Akademi,^[5] but study of it is eligible for scholarships from the Ministry of Culture of India.^[6] Scholarly reception of the reconstruction ranges from caution to scepticism.^[7]^[8]^[9]^[10]
