	chhau
		In sharp contrast to the highly refined and lyrical nature of Kathak, Chhau is a particularly strong and strenuous dance in which the sinuous and fluid body movements are animate by a raw and primal energy.
		Mayurbhanj Chhau, unlike other Chhau traditions, is performed without a mask, and is characterized by a greater freedom of movement and a richer choreography while still retaining the virility of the martial dance from which it took birth.
		It is indicative of Daksha's determined and independent spirit that, fired by a desire to preserve and propagate Chhau, and despite many obstacles, she has distinguished herself in this hitherto male dominated domain.

		Budhikhamari village is in Mayurbhanj District, north-east Orissa, near to the border with the neighbouring state of West Bengal.
		Out of the 130 households in Budhikhamari, 5 are big landholders, owning or occupying land more than 3 acres, 10 are landless, and the rest own or occupy smallholdings of less than 2.5 acres, from which a single, rain-fed crop of paddy is produced.
		Given that Mayurbhanj district has a downwards trend in forest cover, the most recent assessments from satellites show a 5.35% reduction between 1995-1997 (MOEF, 1998), active forest protection may be critical in maintaining the forests needed by Budhikhamari and surrounds.
