Folk Lore and Oral Literature in Odisha
Journal Title: International Journal of Humanities and Social Science Invention - Year 2018, Vol 7, Issue 3
Abstract
Folklore is a medium through which the soul of a people expresses itself colorfully, and in such creation they find an artistic fulfillment and entertainment. This is no less true of Odisha and her people. Folklore is conceived variously by various scholars and by different disciplines. To the anthropologists, folklore is a part of culture, but not the whole of culture. It includes myths, legends, tales, proverbs, riddles, the text of ballads and other songs. Folk music, folk dance, fairs festivals, folk entertainment, folk religion and magic as also folk customs and traditions have been considered as part of the study of folklore.
