An Odissi recital ends with a Tarajan or a Moksha.
Tarajan is a pure dance number , a parallel to Tillana in BharatNatyam. The bols are sung and into them many intricte rhythmic patterns in pure nritta are woven.
Moksha or Moksha Nritya also corresponds to Tillana and litterally means salvation, liberation, release or deliverance. Here the dance and the dancer become one ,culminating into an all inclusive awareness, a fathomless deep consiousness where all thoughts are dissolved and fused into perfect harmony and equilibrium. It consists of pure dance as well as an abhinaya section which generally comprises compositions of Hindi poets like Tulsidas and others.
