Gaudiya Nritya (Bengali: Gaur̤īẏa Nṛtya or Gour̤īyo Nrityo) is a dance tradition.[2][3][4] This dance expressed religious stories[5] through songs written[6] and composed to the ragas & talas[7] of Gaudiya music by ancient poets, especially Vaishnavism.[8] Gaudiya Nritya performances have also expressed ideas of other traditions related to the Hindu deities Shiva[8] and Ganesha, as well as Shakta concepts.[9] 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.
