Seraikella Chhau DAnce Art
The Chhau dance of Seraikella is Hindu classical, traditional, ritualistic, martial art of Phari-handa technique and a unique art of expression with yogic dimension, which is performed dance through beautiful appropriate masks, dress and decoration as well as body movements. This yogic skill as well as dance are presented by more attractive and spectacular music, and within a short span express a vast subject. The mask is made on the basis of the character of the dance. Through the movement of the dancer's body and the yogic process, the various expressions and “Rasas” or atheistic sentiments are reflected in the mask and the character of the dance is revealed to be light. For example, when the reel of the film starts spinning in the projector, it conveys all the emotions of the film and the dead reel also comes alive. Similarly, mask makers assign different colours, forms and special lines to each mask depending on the theme of the dance, which is reflected in the dance performance. It has also its own style of expression which is unique in the dancing world. There are full of martial vigour and bold movements executed with wonderful precision and unanimity.

The Chhau dance developed along with  special lines conditioned by this feature which, while leaving room for the different head gestures(Siro-Bheda), Neck movements (Gribha- Bheda), its eliminates of the different glance (Dristi-Bheda), as modes of expression and laconic art of expression in the dance form. The mask has also served to conceal the identity of the dancer from the audience. RAJATENDU123 (talk) 11:37, 20 September 2023 (UTC)
