It has been an absolute honor to be trained in his style of Odissi for a good fifteen years of my life. What grace, what beauty. The pride of my state. I feel privileged to call myself an Odissi dancer.

So happy you have enjoyed this precious archival performance. so lucky to have been able to record and retrieve it for you all.

While Watching this I am feeling like I am seeing it Live...Thank you Mam for Sharing this...I feel Proud and Blessed to Say that I am a Odissi learner....

Thank you for this treat

Gratitude to those who have recorded and shared the remarkable dance performances of Guru Kelucharan Mohapatra on KZfaq. Experiencing Guruji's live performances is always unforgettable, and future generations will have the opportunity to witness the artistry of this esteemed maestro.

Did anyone notice, Guruji performed Muslim Namaaz in the beginning? I feel it is the poem written by the Muslim devotee named Salabega. If anyone differ from my view, please comment.

He is magnificent.. the way he expresses through Odissi, its just magnificent ❤️

Soulfull 🙏🕉🥺 peace jay jagannath

No words to say only 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

He is a master of his art… he touched my heart.

Hello from Iran. This type of Indian dance is very original and beautiful. Please be diligent in maintaining and training it. 🙏🏼🙏🏼

Pranam

A rare masterpiece. Many thanks for sharing mam.

Most significantly when we see him dancing it emphasis that dancing should come from within..Unless you feel by heart it would be only body movement..❤

That's true this song is written by salabega is a a big devotee of lord Jagannath

Outstanding dance by Guruji Kelucharan Mohapatra, so pure so divine🙏 This is a masterpiece, I am so proud to see this recorded performance, but it seems like a lively performance.

I have no right to comment, in front of such great guru, fr me he is bhagwan, only tears in my eyes 🙏🙏🙏🙏🇮🇳 thanks for sharing, fr us

Wow... What a master piece... Thank you so much for sharing.... Do you have a full Museum on guruji... I am amazed to see guruji's Performances on youtube... How lucky i am that I'm getting a chance to watch him dance... Thank you so much... And secoundly i can Definitely say that people have Modified this item to an Extreme level.. Now days abhinayas are full of Unnecessary Ornamental movement and extra dance rhythm...i hv seen many performing this abhinaya item. .. Have seen dance in both guru deba prasad sir's style and guru kelu sir's style both are brilliantly choreographed.. But nowdays gurus are adding their own flavours which not at all able to deliver an earthy odian flavored abhinaya...look how guruji Established pandava's.. No one is teaching there students about how to establish a character even though there is a shortage of stage time.guruji took just few secounds to establish arjun, bhim and yudhisthir... I am a fan of odissi, cant say myself an odissi dancer by learning a few items of odissi.. But i am a strong viewer and observer and definitely have a right to judge as a viewer... So as a viewer and odia, i am missing these pure items, and request all gurus to to please maintain realism,earthy,traditional and an odian flavour.

Thank you so much for sharing Guru ji, Sharon Lowen. This is so precious.

Oh. Ki wonderful dance.
