Three generations of dancers to honour Pt Durga Lal on Guru Purnima
Dr Tina Tambe
To observe Guru Purnima, a special evening dedicated to Kathak will bring together three generations of disciples from the Jaipur gharana in a tribute to the late Pt. Durga Lal. The event is part of the long-running Ninad concert series and will be held on Sunday, July 13, 7.45pm onwards at Ravindra Natya Mandir, Mumbai.
The programme will open with Nirvana Through Dance, a short film that reflects on the artistic journey of Pt Durga Lal and his contribution to the Jaipur gharana. Produced by senior disciple Uma Dogra and directed by Indrayanee Mukherjee, the film offers a glimpse into the spiritual and aesthetic grounding that shaped his performances.

Following the screening, the concert will feature performances by Kathak artist Uma Dogra, a long-time disciple of Pt.
Durga Lal, along with her student, Dr. Tina Tambe. The evening will also include a group presentation by Tambe's disciples, representing the youngest generation of dancers in the lineage.
The dancers will be accompanied by Satyaprakash Mishra on tabla, Vaibhav Mankad on vocal and harmonium, and Sandeep Mishra on sarangi.
'This is the way parampara grows - when the disciple takes the reins and carries the legacy forward,' said Uma Dogra ahead of the performance.

Dr. Tambe, who will share the stage with her guru and her own students, called the evening 'a sacred offering to Pt Durga Lal ji.' She added, 'To perform with my guru and disciples on Guru Purnima is both emotional and spiritually significant.'
The concert is supported by an institution that offers formal programmes in Indian classical music and dance and shares a similar commitment to preserving traditional arts. Since 2010, the Ninad concert series has presented over 90 artistes and continues to serve as a platform for both senior and emerging performers in the Indian classical space.
