One of the most famous artists village in Orissa, the village of Raghurajpur boasts not only of the exquisite Pattachitra and Tala-Pattachitra, but also of being the native place of Guru kelucharan Mohapatra, the famed Odissi dancer. Even today, under the tutelage of renowned Guru’s, young boys can be seen practicing the Gotipua dance here. A visit to Orissa would definitely be incomplete without a visit to this little village.
