Tribute to the Masters: Legends, Legacy, and Continuum - Kelucharan Mohapatra
curator
Geeta Chandran
Kelucharan Mohapatra, a luminary in Indian classical dance, is celebrated for his pivotal role in the revival and global recognition of Odissi dance. Through his unparalleled dedication and artistry, Guru Mohapatra elevated Odissi from a regional art form to an esteemed classical dance recognised worldwide.
In 1993, Guru Mohapatra founded Srjan to perpetuate his artistic vision and teachings. The institution remains dedicated to preserving the purity of the traditional form while embracing contemporary innovations. Through performances, workshops, and collaborations, Srjan not only trains new generations of dancers but also serves as a cultural bridge, promoting Odissi on global platforms.
This performance is a tribute to Guru Mohapatra, and his contributions to the dance form.
