The Stein Auditorium at India Habitat Centre will host a solo Odissi recital titled Anantha Katha – Some Tales Never End, featuring Bismillah Khan Yuva Puruskar awardee Vinod Kevin Bachan and presented by eminent Odissi exponent Guru Ranjana Gauhar. The performance takes place on October 28 at 7:00 pm.
Rooted in the Guru–Shishya parampara, the recital explores timeless narratives from Indian mythology. Drawing inspiration from the cosmic dance of Lord Shiva, the fierce compassion of Goddess Durga, and the unwavering devotion of Sita, Anantha Katha celebrates stories that transcend time through rhythm, movement, and emotion. The presentation interweaves the Pallavi, Odissi’s hallmark of pure dance, highlighting how tradition and technique are passed from one generation to the next.
Speaking about Bachan’s performance, Guru Ranjana Gauhar said, “Anantha Katha is not merely a performance — it is a celebration of continuity. The stories of our gods, goddesses, and heroines live on through memory, tradition, and dance. Through Pallavi and Abhinaya, Vinod reflects how this eternal stream of storytelling continues to inspire and evolve, yet remains rooted in our great tradition.”

Bachan added, “To present Anantha Katha under the guidance of my Guru is both humbling and inspiring. These stories are not confined to mythology — they mirror our lives, our struggles, and our devotion. I hope the audience experiences the same sense of timeless connection that Odissi has given me.”
