Basant Raaga (Part I) The next section of the program was “Basanta Raaga”. The first item was “Ki Sobha Go Kunje”. This item was choreographed and taught by Mrs Jayantee Paine Ganguly. It was a beautiful choreography and presentation by the children. The dancers were Ankita Ray, Mrunali Das, Shashwati Das, Raven Holmes, Lonika Behera and Ciron Gilford. The next item was a Basant Pallabi by Kakali Rath. Her Guru is Sri Durga Charan Ranbir, who follows the style of his own guru Late Sri Deba Prasad Das. Kakali started learning to dance under her guru when she was three years old and she has been giving on-stage performances ever since. A post Graduate and National Scholarship holder in Odissi Dance, Kakali started out as a professional free-lance artist in the year 1992. A few of her performances have been at the Beach Festivals at Puri and Sun Temple festival at Konark, REC Rourkela and IIT KGP. She has also performed at other cities like New Delhi, Mumbai, Chidambaram, and Pollachi. Her performances abroad have been in Kazakhstan and in Germany where she also completed a threemonth course on Body and Dance at the International Women’s University. She performed at the annual day celebrations of Satyam Computer Services at Peoria, Illinois; Oriya Society Convention & Bengali Society Convention in Chicago, the Indian Independence day celebrations in Oshkosh, Wisconsin & Red River Revel at Shreveport.
Kakali Rath also performed an Abhinaya “Kede Chanda Janelo Sahi .....” an Oriya poem written by the famous Oriya poet “Banamali”. The poet belonged to the 18th century but till today no one has surpassed his mastery over the choice or creation of words while expressing “Bhava” and “Rasa”. As the poet wonders, how such a sweet little kid, Lord Krishna from the Nanda family could achieve the exploits of even the greatest. The dancer presents all those activities to take the audience into a wonder world. Among the episodes presented are: the killing of demoness Putana; Mother Yasoda being enchanted at the sight of the whole universe residing in the small mouth of her son. This marvelous dance item includes many such childhood antics and advenstures of Lord Krishna and was presented as a combination of Nrutta and Natya in perfect harmony for effective expression.
