Gaudiya Nritya

Gaudiya Nritya (Template:Lang-bn) or Gour̤īyo Nrityo, 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 recognised as an Indian classical dance by Ministry of Culture,[6] also recognized by Sangeet Natak Akademi ,but study of it is eligible for scholarships from the Ministry of Culture of India.[7] Scholarly reception of the reconstruction ranges from caution to skepticism.[8][9][10][11]
