Etymology

On 21 September 1994, The name Gaudiya Nritya was adopted on the advice of Indologist Bratindra Nath Mukhopadhyay.^[12] Reasons for this designation include: in ancient times – the reign of Shashanka and the Pala and Sena eras – the whole of Bengal was referred to as Gauda and the presence of the Gaudiya style in the Indian music and literature. Also, in the fifteenth century, Sangeet Shastrakar Maheswara Mohapatra of Odisha mentions seven types of dance styles in Abhinaya Chandrika, including Gaudiya dance.^[13]
