Pandit Birju Maharaj

With the passing away of Pandit Birju Maharaj, India has lost another great dance icon. The maestro’s immaculate performance of the stellar dance form, with his dancing eyes and footwork and rhythm, creates visual grandeur. He has left behind a rich legacy of Kathak with his unique style of ‘immersive dance’ to portray epic stories.
