Created Works
In 2001, CODC Inc. began presenting works which consisted entirely of Devraj's original dance choreography and music composition. These works premiered in Toronto, Ontario, Canada with the assistance of the Canada Council for the Arts, the Ontario Arts Council, the Toronto Arts Council, and the Laidlaw Foundation. They included: Panchadeva (2001), his magnum opus Shiva Naba Rasa (2005), and Jai Sri Rama (2006), as well as the four-year epic called the Mahabharata Vira Quadrilogy from the Kurukshetra Chronicles: Bhishma (2003), Drona (2004), Karna (2005), and Arjuna (2006). The sheer volume of his created works makes him the most prolific composer and choreographer of Odissi works in his generation.
