Timeline

Deba Prasad Das was an Indian classical dancer, considered by critics and connoisseurs as one of the four first generation gurus of the Indian classical dance form of Odissi.

His Odissi style is robust and unique.

1932

Deba Prasad Das was born in 1932 in a Karana family at a small village near Cuttack called Keul Chabi Sua, in the Indian state of Odisha to Indramani Devi and Durga Charan Das, a police officer.

He lost his mother at an early age and was brought up by his grandfather who was a local violin player.

Das did his early schooling at Puri and started picking up music and dance at the age of six from a nearby traditional school (Pathara Akhara) run by Mohan Chandra Mohapatra.

However, he had to move to Behrampur when his father was transferred there.

When Das was 14, his father sent him to the music school of Radha Raman Ray, a music director working with New Theatres.

He worked there for a monthly salary of approximately ₹ 3 plus food and assisted the performers in the green room.

Soon, he worked his way up as a gate man, a ticket collector and finally as a prompter.

The break came when Guru Pankaj Charan Das and later, Moha Mohapatra started associating themselves with the New theatre and Das got a small role, appearing only at the beginning of the dance cramas.

1949

Later, when New Theatres closed down in 1949, he moved to Annapurna and worked there for a few years where he had the opportunity to work alongside the renowned Odissi exponents such as Pankaj Charan Das, Kelucharan Mohapatra, Kumar Dayal Sharan and Mayadhar Raut.

Das, a representative of Gotipua Odissi culture and considered by many as one of the four first generation gurus of Odissi, is known to be founder of the Deba Prasad Gharana.

He has also choreographed many dance dramas and solo numbers.

1964

The next move was to Utkal Sangeet Mahavidyalaya, a school of dance music, where Das joined as a faculty member for Odissi in 1964.

Here, he tutored Indrani Rahman a Bharatanatyam dancer at that time, whom he taught Odissi.
