Description: In Orissa the dance which later came to be known as Odissi was practiced by the Gotipuas on the one hand an exclusively male tradition and the Maharis on the other exclusively female. This article with a reference to Mohan Khokar because he sums up in his essay the dramatic revival of Odissi in a relatively short span of time. This article is about Guru Pankaj Charan Das, Guru Kelucharan Mohapatra , and Guru Debaprasad Das came from diverse milieus and it was because of their own aptitude and application that they grew into guru s of gurus.The cultural atmosphere they enjoyed when they were young particularly the still vibrant Gotipua tradition the establishment of professional theatre groups and ultimately the social acceptance of dance in Orissa contributed to their emergence as full fledged gurus. It is their individual efforts and genius that transformed the amorphous materials be it movements, abhinaya, or music-of the Maharis and Gotipu as into the crystalline classical Odissi dance of today.
