Krishna awaits Radha

ASHTHA PADI:- Gopi pleades with Radha on behalf of Krishna, Eagelry waiting on the river margin,fanned by soft south winds,vanamali. He croons your name unto the fluid music of his charming flute calling him .When a happy bird Swoops down or leaves quiver ,He at once imagines you are drawing near. He prepares the bed of soft flower petals and watching eyes waits till you appear. Sri Jayadev service to Hari is the siren song of supreme delight . “ Dheera Sameere Yamuna Teere" Raag- kalyan set to Ektaal. 

This short video depicts the essence of this song and hope you enjoy watching it.

Eternally for Odissi

Guru Lineage

With out a guru, no possibility of mastering any art especially such fine art of dancing like Odissi. I was blessed with a guru parampara ( lineage) who imparted such culturally distinct odissi dancing elements in my dance.   

I am a disciple of late Guru Deba Prasad Lineage through Guru Gajendra Panda and Guru Sudhakar Sahu. My debut on stage was at the tender age of six under the guidance of Guru Gajendra Panda.

I am grateful to them for what I am today and pray for their well being.

 Eternally for Odissi Dance,
