The Indian Express has hailed Madhur Gupta as one of the few male artists (in a field mostly dominated by women), who not only pursued Indian classical dance with devotion but also excelled at it. Beginning his initial training in Kathak with a maestro like Padma Vibhushan awardee, Pandit Birju Maharaj, he was strongly drawn towards Odissi as his life’s calling. He has had the fortune of interacting and learning from masters like Madhavi Mudgal, Bichitrananda Swain, and Kumkum Lal. Madhur is currently in advanced training under the renowned dancer and Guru, Smt Sharon Lowen in the Padma Vibhushan Guru Kelucharan Mohapatra style of Odissi.
