"I started my Odissi career when I was just 7 years old under the supervision of Late Guru Raghunath Dutta. Then, I started learning about Guru Kelucharan Mohapatra Gharana and Guru Debaprasad Das Gharana. I am well versed with both the gharanas.
Dancing is not my passion, but my profession. It not only gives me mental peace, but also physical wellness. I have performed in various places, within and out of Odisha. The blessings of God, my teacher and my parents helped me achieve recognition, even on an international level.
At the age of 17, I had the opportunity to visit Malaysia for a performance and within 2 years, I made my way to dance festivals in Singapore, Thailand, Japan, Bahrain and so on. The overwhelming response received from my fellow Odias made me really happy.
Besides being a dancer, I am also an actor in the Odia Industry. I aim to create a new look in the entertainment industry. My parents, teachers and relatives have enabled me to lead a life better than my dreams. I am so glad that they didn't limit me, just because I am a girl. They believed in my potential. I like to believe that if given the right opportunity, we all can rise above and beyond! - Mokshada Tripathy.
I hope everyone can get support and blessings from parents like you got
