Dancing against odds

Staff Reporter

BHUBANESWAR: Nityananda Das, an Odissi dancer from Orissa, has overcome his handicap in a remarkable way. His performance at Rabindra Mandap auditorium here on Sunday evening left the dance lovers spellbound.

Mr. Das, a trained Odissi dancer, had lost one of his legs in a road accident in June 2000. But his love for Odissi made him overcome the setback. He started dancing with one leg and returned to the stage after a gap of five years. Apart from the assistance of his guru, Bimbadhar Das, what inspired Mr. Das was the example set by actress-dancer Sudha Chandran in the Hindi blockbuster, Nache Mayuri.
