Abstract	All these singing acts of Odissi music are sung on the basis of some specific ‘gamak’. A particular vibration that is created by a tune (swara) is called ‘gamak’. It has been written in Sanskrit as such: “Swarasya kampai gamakah”. From this vibration of the tune only a style of the music is differentiated from other style of music and soon after listening we can come to know that which music belongs to what style. Similarly, in Odissi singing style also there are some particular vibrations of tunes called ‘gamak’, for which our Odissi style of singing bears a quite different identity among its other counterparts. It is noteworthy that the vibration act in music is solely general. But the language and conceptual difference, at the backdrop of regional and cultural distinction retain the importance of a particular style, irrespective of place.
