This was a rehearsal of the edited Sakhi He for my performance in Swarna Kamalam by K Viswanath. I recorded this in Toronto in 1987 where I traveled to meet Gu...ru Kelucharan Mohapatra to have him shorten his choreography as I couldn't tamper with his work. Earlier I thought it was just a rehearsal when we toured the USA in 1985 so reposting and removing the earlier post See more

A great art scholar Dr. Kapila Vatsyayana with always a sweet smile is no more with us. Her knowledge through her books lives with us forever. I got introduced to her at Nalanda Nrityakala Mahavidyala through her books and was fortunate to be blessed by her presence at my performance at Museum of Anthropology in Vancouver. A moment that I will never forget. May her soul Rest In Peace
