Every aspiring classical dancer must have heard the name of legendary Kathak dance professional, Lacchu Maharaj. The latter along with his wife Rama Devi have choreographed dances in exemplary movies such as Mughal-E-Azam, Pakeezah, and many more. After Lacchu Maharaj’s death, his wife Rama continued his legacy and taught Kathak to many students all across the world. And Maharashtra’s pride, Mayur, was one of them. He has always been an excellent student because of which he got felicitated by Rama Devi on one of the special occasions.

The current pandemic has affected us mentally, emotionally, and financially. In these tough times, all we need are some positive vibes. The Yuva Dancing Queen judge considers his felicitation moment as one of the priceless and irreplaceable experiences of his life. Recently, Mayur shared his picture with Rama Devi as he thinks that it brings new energy and also helps him become hopeful which is definitely the need of the hour!

रामदेवी हया लखनऊ घराण्याचे दिवंगत गुरु लच्छू महाराज यांच्या शिष्या व सहाय्यक,.लच्छू महाराज चित्रपट नृत्य दिग्दर्शनासाठी टाळाटाळ करीत असे कारण त्यांना वाटत होते की व्यावसायिक बाबी वर्चस्व गाजवतील आणि सर्जनशील पैलू नीट लक्षात येणार नाही. तरीही रामादेवीच्या मदतीने त्यांनी १०० हून अधिक चित्रपटांसाठी नृत्य दिग्दर्शित केले. त्यापैकी मुगल-ए-आजम, मुझे जीने दो, तीसरी कसम, पाकीजा, एक ही रास्ता आणि जीवन मृत्यु हे आहेत महाराज बांधव कथ्थक क्षेत्रात अग्रगण्य होते. रामदेवींनी पारंपारिक रूढींचे काटेकोरपणे पालन केले आणि कत्थक चे प्रशिक्षण देण्यात कोणत्याही कारणाने तडजोड केली नाही. अशा या गुरु रामदेवी यांच्या हस्ते पुरस्कार घेण्याचे भाग्य मला लाभले ❤️😇 #mayurvaidya #throwback #thosedays #kathak #kathakfusion #dancing #dancelife #awards #backthen #memoriesfromgallary #memories #cherish #moments #majormissing #marathi #celebrity #lockdown #quarantineandchill #quarantine #stayhome #stolenmoments #goldendays #goodafternoon
