The beginning of an Odissi/Orissi dance recital is with the Bhumipranama , an obeisance to the chosen deity. It is also known as Mangalacharan. It is in praise of either Lord Ganesha ( The Vighnaraja), Lord Jagannatha or Adishakti. A line of poetry is set to music and it is performed with a combination of pure dance steps and mime , expressing the meaning through the gestures. It is said that the performance of this item ensures success of the recital.
