From the playful child stealing butter to the compassionate saviour, eternal lover, guide and protector—the production journeys through Krishna’s timeless leelas and human values. Episodes such as the subduing of the evil serpent Kaliya, Krishna’s enchanting flute and the divine bond with Radha portray love, devotion, humility and righteousness.Music composition: Rupak Kumar Parida Rhythm composition: Dhaneswar Swain Dance direction & choreography: Madhulita MohapatraAshok Kumar Ghosal is a dancer, choreographer, and teacher.

Every year, Nrutyashala organises Margi, a classical dance festival where renowned dancers and troupes from across India and abroad participate.Pride, ego and vanity have existed through the ages. It may seem like a strange mathematical coincidence that in Satya Yuga, the four-syllabled Hiranyakashipu was destroyed by Narasimha; in Treta Yuga, the three-syllabled Ravana was defeated by Rama; and in Dwapara Yuga, the two-syllabled Kansa was slain by Krishna. In this Kali Yuga, the single-syllabled ‘Mun’ (meaning I or Myself) continues to exist as the subtle manifestation of all these evils. This egoistic Mun lives within every individual, household and society and only when it is destroyed can humanity move towards enlightenment, compassion and collective well-being. Spiritual awareness and inner consciousness alone can dissolve this ego and create a peaceful and harmonious world.Script: Nabakishore Mishra Rhythm composition: Dhaneswar Swain & Ajay Kumar Choudhury Voice: Shriyukta Ramahari Das, Khitiprakash Mohapatra, Gitamajari Behera & Sworupa Mishra Costume design: Bandita GhosalMusic: Himanshu Sekhar Swain Concept & choreography: Ashok Kumar GhosalAn NCPA PresentationAge Limit: 6+Late entry will not be permitted. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/mumbai/odissi-by-madhulita-mohapatra-ashok-ghosal-ncpa/3900030235626115 - **Event Categories**: festivals, workshops, art, theatre - **Slot details of has slots**: - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 15 - **Event Highlights**: - Age Limit: 6 - Duration: 2 Hours ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 200, currency: INR ## Event venue details - **city**: Mumbai - **state**: MH - **country**: India - **location**: Experimental Theatre: NCPA. - **lat**: 19.075983047485 - **long**: 72.877655029297 - **full address**: Experimental Theatre: NCPA., Nariman Point, NCPA Marg, Mumbai, Maharashtra 400021, India ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Odissi by Madhulita Mohapatra/Ashok Ghosal @NCPA - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events1/banners/0f90cdc0-7569-11f1-a6ed-5146a8713f7b-rimg-w1200-h600-dc010100-gmir.jpg?v=1782922952 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Odissi by Madhulita Mohapatra/Ashok Ghosal @NCPA being held? - **A:** Odissi by Madhulita Mohapatra/Ashok Ghosal @NCPA takes place on Thu, 02 Jul, 2026 at 06:30 pm to Sat, 22 Aug, 2026 at 06:30 pm at Experimental Theatre: NCPA., Nariman Point, NCPA Marg, Mumbai, Maharashtra 400021, India. - **Q**: Is there an age restriction for Odissi by Madhulita Mohapatra/Ashok Ghosal @NCPA? - **A:** Odissi by Madhulita Mohapatra/Ashok Ghosal @NCPA is strictly for guests aged 6 and above.
