Eventually all good things in life come to an end, so does the Dance Festival.
Today the program began with Mohiniattam by Megha Ahire, who presented a dance based on theme on Ashtanaika in the concluding session. What a graceful performance it was.
The final and concluding, dance was Sattriya by Sharodi Saikia,
Sattriya is a traditional dance of Assam, very rarely performed in Mumbai. I was so glad to watch the rare performance.
However it was disheartening to find out the auditorium was full less than 1/3 of its capacity. Maybe Nehru Centre has not been able to reach to all or is it that only Legends of India draws crowds? It is most unfair towards the most talented, hardworking, and energetic young generation artists.
Whatever the cause is people really are not realizing what they are missing in the life.
Megha Ahire started her dance training in Mohini Attam under Dr (Smt.) Kanak Rele. She has completed her Bachelor of Fine Arts. She has performed in Nalanda’s various productions and ballets.Sharodi Saikia from Guwahati is a senior exponent of Sattriya Dance. She is the disciple of the Sangeet Natak Akademi Awardee, the late Guru Raseswar Saikia. She has performed at various dance festivals in India.
