(Noted Kathak Maestro from Kolkata)

Ashimbandhu Bhattacharjee was initiated into the world of dance and music at a very
tender age. His dance is a configuration of the Jaipur and Lucknow Gharanas of Kathak
and hence is a harmonious amalgamation of grace and vigour. A performer, teacher and
choreographer par excellence, Ashimbandhu has carved a niche for himself and has given
a new dimension to Kathak. He was initially trained in Jaipur Gharana of Kathak under
the able guidance of Pt.Ramgopal Mishra and Smt.Susmita Mishra. He then learnt the
nuances of Lucknow Gharana from the renowned Kathak Maestro Pt.Vijay Shankar and
later from legendary Padma Vibhushan Pt.Birju Maharaj.
A ‘Top’ grade artist of Doordarshan, he worked with many dancers and choreographers
of international repute. Some of them are Padmavibhushan Pt. Birju Maharaj, Dietmar
Seffret(Germany), Prof. Kity Son (Japan), Padmashree Kumudini Lakhia, Dr.Manjushree
Chaki Sircar and Pt. Vijay Shankar. He performed abroad on invitation by renowned
private organization and also as a cultural delegate of the Govt. of India. Some of the
major ones are USA, Japan, UK, Russia, France, Germany, Belgium, Hungary and Serbia.
