About

On Thursday 8th December 2011, our dear Guru Bijoy Kumar Senapati passed away at the age of 75. For almost a year, he had been suffering from ill health and had spent several months in hospital earlier this year. Recently I visited him in Orissa in October and I was shocked to see how much he had deteriorated. He is survived by his wife, two daughters, a son, two sons-in-law and a grandson. Guru Bijoy Kumar Senapati and his wife (1998) Chandrabhanu first met Guruji in 1974. It was Geoffrey Goldie who insisted that Chandrabhanu should learn Odissi dance from him. For many years, Chandrabhanu and Geoffrey travelled to Puri, in Orissa, spending much time with Guruji and the art of Odissi dance.
