Naman 2013: A festival of Odissi dance

 Nrityantar Odissi


Bengaluru's very own Odissi dance festival NAMAN is back with its 4th edition.
City-based Odissi institution Nrityantar will hold its 4th Odissi dance festival NAMAN 2013 on Sunday, July 28, 2013 at ADA Rangamandira, J C Road, Bengaluru. 

NAMAN is a humble initiative by Bengaluru-based Odissi dance institution, Nrityantar, to bring together and showcase varied styles and schools of Odissi dance. Since its modest beginning in the year 2010, the festival has now grown as the most awaited of all events on the city's cultural calendar. With an array of finest artistes, the event promises to enthral all Odissi lovers again. ‘Naman’, literally meaning 'salutation', is a tribute to the Guru, the visible embodiment of God. The festival pays rich tributes to our great gurus for their invaluable contributions in the growth and popularisation of our proud arts.

Odissi dance is an epitome of fluid grace, lyrical beauty, sculptural sensuality and deep spirituality with curvaceous movements, sculptured poses and impeccable rhythm. The evening will witness Odissi at its best, in a not-to-miss opportunity for all art lovers. Extremely talented, Pavithra Reddy from the famed dance village, Nrityagram, is sure to enchant audiences with her flawless artistry. Ustad Bismillah Khan Yuva Puraskar awardee from the Government of India and one of the finest male exponents of this generation, Rahul Acharya will spellbind viewers with precision, skills and the spiritual force of his art. Popular Odissi dance couple, Ramesh Chandra Jena & Madhusmita Mohanty will add beauty to the event with their delightful duet rendition. Senior gurus, dancers and dignitaries from the art world will grace the occasion.

The event is a must-see for all art-lovers across the city. Programme starts at 5:30pm. All are invited.
