As we all know that " VIRASAT " - 10 days long cultural event is being organized in Maulana Azad National Institute Of Technology, MANIT by SPIC-MACAY .
since it is being organized by initiative of SPIC-MACAY , so it's good to get known about this society well which among us in our college is known as another club or society for which some weird hobbyist do meetings at the end of the day on some days of weeks , believe me what you think of SPIC-MACAY like club will change entirely when you will attend one of the program and you can get rough idea of that feeling when you discuss about it with someone who is soul member of this community
We guys show great part of our music interest in western music , and claim that western one is better than ours . Guys remember never ever compare two different regional musics ,when you don't know well about either of them. we always compare Bollywood Hindi music with English music , you may find anyone of them better that depends on your taste of music but our indigenous music isn't only known for Bollywood music , it's our raga and classical music that are known above bollywood songs in foreign .
Anyways enjoy this fest and know your culture lest you go anywhere in world and then acknowledge values of Indian classical music by other people.
Schedule - make sure that you don’t miss this chance to know that how much splendid and spellbinding our classical music and culture are.
Come and be mesmerized .

GOTIPUA
Gotipua, an oriya etymon means a single boy. A dance which is performed by a single boy dancer in female costume is known asGotipua dance. When the dance of the Maharis slowly disintegrated due to variouu reasons, the class of these boy dancers was started to carry out the tradition & it is largely from them that the present form of Odissi dance has been revived.
A Gotipua party consists of four or five members and the guru always remains in charge of it. The guru also sings & plays on the harmonium. Other members are two accompanists i.e., a madala player & a ginni player, and one or two boy dancers. The dance of the Gotipuas is in Odissi style, but their technique, costum & all presentations differ from that of Maharis. The songs are generally compositions of Vaisnava poets of Orissa on the alliance of Radha & Krishna.
