An Odissi dance recital during the 107th Birth Anniversary of Revered Swami Lokeswaranandaji Maharaj held on April 19, 2016 at Kolkata, West Bengal. Performed by Smt. Sharmila Biswas and her troupe. Organised by Nanritam.
Saying that the Mrudanga went "from Bengal to Odisha" is very misleading. The Mrudanga existed in Odisha far before the arrival of Chaitanya Mahaprabhu as attested by several sculptural and literary records. The instrument is an example of pan-Indian shared heritage and need not be presented as originating somewhere and migrating to elsewhere.
