Notes and Videos: Jhelum Paranjape Solo. ODISSI To highlight syncretism, Jhelum chose a devotional song by the 17th century Oriya poet Salabeg. Lore has it that Salabeg being Muslim, was not allowed to enter the temple of Jaganath Puri, yet remained one of Jaganath's most ardent devotees. To date, the mammoth Jaganath Yatra makes a stop at Salabeg's tombstone in Puri. Ahe Neela is a well known Odiya song and dance item in the Odissi repertoire, choreographed by Guru Kelecharan Mohapatra. In this song, Salabeg in his last years of his life pleads of Lord Jaganath to release him from his physical pain and suffering, by granting him Moksha.

His Father was credited for redesigning the Veena to suit Dhrupad’s “kharaj” low octave. Before his recital, Bahauddin presented a brief archeology of the RudraVeena - born as legend has it, from Shiva’s inspiration of the contours of Parvati’s reclining body.

a concert of composite culture was held on the 14th of August 2002, at St. Andrews Auditorium, Bandra. This one-off event, curated and produced by Chitrakarkhana, was designed to create awareness of the deep secular/composite traditions in Indian classical music and dance. The four-hour performance followed an evolutionary sequence: Odissi invocation > Dhrupad instrumental > Khayal > Thumri > Fusion > Experimental. We want to thank the accomplished artists who all performed for free in the spirit of the concert. click for pics- Jhelum Paranjape and the Smitalay Dance School.
