'Daskathia' is a form of ballad singing prevalent in Odisha. It is performed usually by two artists, the singer, and his assistant. The very word (Dasakathia) is derived from the word 'Das' which means worshipper and Kathi means two pieces of sticks which produce a very sweet sound. This performance is ritualistic and secular in nature.
