 The Whitefield Dance and Music festival commemorating the Guru Poornima celebrations showcased a beautiful Odissi recital by Madhulita Mohapatra.
She is the disciple of late Guru Padmashree Gangadhar Pradhan and presently continuing her advanced studies in Odissi under Guru Aruna Mohanty.
Madhulita commenced her recital with the "Tam ham ta ri jhae na" pallavi set to raga Kirvani in taal Khemta. This lyrical pure dance number starts in slow tempo with the speed gradually building up towards the climax of the piece. Intricate in its exposition, Madhulita proved her assiduous training in this complex nritta aspect of the form. Neat chowks and tribhangis added aesthetics to her performance.
