How Odissi Vical is Different from Hindustani vocal?????
Answers
Answer:
Odissi music gives great importance to the lyric where words are required to be sung without fragmentation or distortion. All songs are required to be sung in specific 'raagas' and 'Taalas'. Typical Odissi taalas have a different distribution of beat and pause from north or south Indian taalas with the same number of beats. Odissi style of singing lays great stress on 'Prabandha' or 'text of the song'. All Odissi lyricists are reknowned poets - Jayadev, Kavisamrat Upendra Bhanja, Deenkrushna, Kavisurya Baladev Ratha, Gopalkrushna, Banamali etc. Odissi songs traditionally depict the love and frolicks of Radha and Krishna. Odissi dance is usually performed to the accompaniment of Odissi music. Originally Odissi was sung to the dance of the 'Maharis' (Devadasis) at the Jagannath Temple, and was later sung to dances by young boys, 'Gotipuas' performing Odissi dance. The Odissi music of today has evolved from the style of 'Gotipua' music.

Explanation:
Odissi Music is ancient and has been mentioned in the Naṭya Shastra as a separate branch of classical music. The traditional music emerged in the halls of the Jagannatha Temple for the Lord’s appeasement and usually talks about religious tales or romance. From centuries the songs have been passed from generation to generation in villages.
Odissi is specifically distinct from Hindustani and Carnatic streams purely due to the emphasis on sentiment and lyrics which is unusual for the other two forms. Words are mere syllables to be articulated in Hindustani, but not so in Odissi. Each word is delivered according to it's meaning. That special touch makes it Odissi. And different.
Odissi as a classical music doesn’t need a mere tag from the government- it is classical and will be firmly rooted in the Shastras. A mere name can’t alter a stream of music that dates back centuries, and perhaps even millennia.
