Saveri PallabiPallavi means 'to blossom forth'. Pallavi is a nritta or pure dance item in the Odissi repertoire. Characterized by strong footwork and body movements, Pallavi is an exposition of the dance as well as the music. Set to the tune of a specific raga, a Pallavi traces through the musical swaras and the dancer elaborates with a weave of lyrical movements that bring out the beauty and charm of Odissi nritta. The item is an expression of Sringara or beauty in nature
