Bengaluru · Trivandrum · Est. 2004
A complete education in Odissi — the technique, the skills, the tradition, the sadhana and the fulfilment — in the Guru Kelucharan Mohapatra style.
About Sanjali
Sanjali Centre for Odissi Dance was established in Bengaluru in 2004 by Sharmila Mukerjee. It trains students primarily in the Guru Kelucharan Mohapatra style of Odissi, and gives them a platform to perform at prestigious festivals and programmes.
Students who are sincere and dedicated, and able to learn advanced items, are given the opportunity to perform in group productions as part of the Sanjali Ensemble. Many have gone on to their Rangapravesh and now teach and perform as soloists themselves.
