Parampara Sutradhara is an evocative evening celebrating the timeless traditions of Indian classical dance and the enduring spirit of the Guru–Shishya Parampara — the sacred lineage of teacher and disciple that sustains and transmits artistic wisdom across generations.
The performance brings together three distinguished dancers, each representing a unique classical dance tradition — Sattriya, Odissi, and Kathak — offering audiences a rare opportunity to experience the depth, diversity, and spiritual richness of India’s cultural heritage in one cohesive presentation.
- Anannya Mahanta, an accomplished South Asian dancer and a prominent emerging exponent of Sattriya Nritya from North East India, presents the lyrical grace and devotional essence of this monastic dance tradition rooted in the heritage of Assam.
- Monidipa Seal, an esteemed Odissi dancer, choreographer, and educator based in London, is a Gold Medalist and holds a Master’s degree in Odissi. As the Founder of Aashvee Dance Academy, she brings to the stage the sculptural elegance, intricate rhythm, and expressive storytelling that define the Odissi tradition.
- Amrita Bandyopadhyay, a renowned Kathak dancer and teacher from Wales, offers the dynamic virtuosity and nuanced abhinaya of the Kathak tradition. A decorated performer with extensive experience across India and the UK, she embodies the rhythmic brilliance and narrative sophistication of this North Indian classical form.
