  • Ojapali is a traditional shamanistic type of indigenous folk dance from Assam in the northeastern region of India. Ojapali is believed to have evolved from Kathakata tradition and is performed in a group; it is believed to be one of the oldest art forms of Assam. Originally evolved in the Kamata state the western and northern part of river Brahmaputra later limited to Darrang area under the patronisation of Darrangi .The repertoire of this performance consists of songs, dialogues, gesture, improvised acting and dramatisation etc. The group consists of an Oja, who leads the performance and four or five palies, who supplement the performance with continuously playing cymbal. Among the Palies Daina pali who stand on the right-hand side of the Oja is the active one and he and Oja take the performance forward. Many believe that Shankardev took inspiration from Ojapali to create his . Moreover he also created his own Sattriya Ojapali. Generally Darrangi Suknanni Ojapali sings the lyrics written by Sukabi Narayanadeva in Padmapurana. Padma Purana covers the story of serpent goddess Maroi(manasa devi). Ojapali is associated with Shakti Puja, including the deities manasa, kali, durga, kesikhaiti, kakogoshani etc. Present day Ojapali is limited to Darrang, Nalbari, Kamrup, Bajali, Baksa, Mangaldoi, Sipajhar, some other parts of Tezpur and Udalguri district. Lalit Chandra Nath and Kinaram Nath have been awarded Sangeet Natak Akademi Award for their contribution to this art form. Presently Lalit Chandra Nath Oja's family is working towards Ojapali's development in Sipajhar. Ojapali can be divided into three forms based on the occasion and style: * Byah or bigoya ojapali * Sukananni ojapali or maroi goa ojapali * Ramayani ojapali (en)
