Kosli drama

Kosli drama are a typical drama performance in the western Orissa of India.

Origin

The "naach gaana" in the streets of villages of the western Orissa regions are traditionally based on the plots of Ramayana, Mahabharata and other religion epics. During the early days Ram-Parshuram bhet was recognized as a form of street play. Currently "Ramlila" is performed in several villages. Majority of the dramas are performed in open air auditoriums where people stand surrounding the stage to observe. The great visionary Pundit Prayag Dutt Joshi wrote one drama 'KAPAT BIHA' in 1936 and it was staged in Raj Khariar in that year.
