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 be a source of joy for Odissi dancers and connoisseurs alike. 124 pp. Seller Inventory # 63446
