Smitalay organises ‘SAMSMARANAM’, a tribute to Guru Kelucharan Mohapatra, the epochal Odissi dancer. Guruji’s legacy still continues in the form of his countless students who strive to popularize Odissi in India and around the world.

This year’s edition of ‘SAMSMARANAM’ will see Kumkum Lal from Delhi make a presentation of traditional Odissi. Also, Ratikant and Sujata Mohapatra, along with a few other artistes from Srjan, Bhubaneswar, will present some innovative pieces choreographed using Odissi vocabulary by Ratikant Mohapatra.

Donor passes for ‘SAMSMARANAM’ will be available at the venue from April 5, 2007 onwards. Please do make it a point to attend and join us in savouring sweet memories.
