Perfect poise
Malaysian Odissi dancer Ramli Ibrahim performs at Rabindra Mandap. Hosted by the Indian Council for Cultural Relations, dance guru Gajendra Panda’s Tridhara and Ibrahim’s Sutra Foundation, the programme — Krishna, Love Re-invented — was an elaborate presentation of Odissi on Wednesday evening. The Malaysian performer presented a repertoire of Odissi compositions based on those made by the legendary Kelucharan Mohapatra as well as his own guru Deba Prasad Das, apart from Gajendra Panda. Ibrahim’s troupe went on to perform a series of items depicting the romantic frolicking of Krishna and the gopis. Text by Namita Panda, Telegraph picture
