Odissi
Srjan, Bhubaneswar












Guru Ratikanta Mohapatra and troupe

Carrying the legacy of his illustrious father Guru Kelucharan, Ratikant Mohapatra has been doing a magnificent job in promoting Odissi both in India and abroad through innovation and experimentation, researched and rehearsed in Srjan, the centre established by Guru Kelucharan Mohapatra in 1993.

After getting into his father’s shoes, Ratikanta continues to give scintillating performance to earn accolades from every quarters.

Presentation

Bagvad Gita:

Bhagvad Gita has assumed a positions  of universal importance and interest. It is the gospel of truth giving us a clear philosophy of mortal living purpose and path to salvation.

Arjuna sees his kinsmen prepared for the war and says. I have overcome with compassion. I cannot kill my brothers my elders, what do I do oh! Krishna!

Krishna advise him to go ahead and do his duty as a warrior.

This situation of Arjuna in the battle field draws a parallel to the symbolic of man’s own tryst with life and destiny.
