Alistair Macauley writes“There are almost no dancers today to whom I apply that dangerous label “great”. There is just one… Her name is Madhavi Mudgal…” Mudgal is one of the leading classical dancers of India, Madhavi Mudgal is a highly renowned exponent of the Odissi style. A prime disciple of the legendary Guru Kelucharan Mohapatra, Mudgal is credited with bringing a greatly refined sensibility to her art form. She has received repeated acclaim in major cities and dance festivals that have featured her throughout the world.
Apart from establishing a niche in the international dance scene as a soloist, she has received critical acclaim for her choreographic works. She teaches Odissi at Gandharva Mahavidyalaya, New Delhi, one of the premier institutes in the country. Mudgal has also been the recipient of many awards and honors, including the President of India’s award of Padma Shri and the Chevalier de l’ordre des arts et des lettres by the Government of France.
