A special form of devotional dance called the Sabda Sarapata Nritya is attributed to the Shiva cult. These dances are in the ugra style and dedicated to Shiva, Ganesha, Krishna and Durga. Each chanted verse is followed by pure dance accompanied by elaborate rhythm syllables intoned by the singer and drum. Only a few old gurus know these items. (Dance Dialects of India by Ragini Devi, p152) |
