Puspita Mishara
Indian Classical Coach Odissi
Puspita Mishra, a fair spritely damsel is Odisha's pride in the indigenous Odissi dance which has now assumed an international status. Her devotion to this complex form of dance and choreographic intricacies is something spectacular and ingenious. Being widely acclaimed in the State and outside, Puspita emerges as a rare artist who blends rhythmic grace and symphony in her dance that keeps the audience in thrall. The spectator is led to believe that Puspita in her dance is veritably an animated sculpture on the walls of Konark temple that set the rhythm, melody and tenderness in one composite tune. Her intricate footwork, her graceful karanas and charis, her hand gestures and mudras, besides the expression of her eyes simply usher the viewer into a world of beauty in gay abandon. She has Mastered Odissi dance from the age of 3 years since 1974 under the able guidance of Padmashree Guru Pankaj charan Das.
