Radha Prema Leela is a form of musical theatre originating from Ganjam, Odisha, dedicated to portraying the devotional and romantic episodes of Radha and Krishna. Composed around the mid-19th century by Biswambhara Rajendradeba of Chikiti Gada, this tradition acknowledges Guru Raghunath Rajguru
of Chikiti as its foremost teacher and innovator. The repertoire
encompasses nearly 400 songs, each composed within the framework of
classical Odissi music, seamlessly blending narrative expression,
lyrical artistry, and melodic depth.
