Explanation

Kelucharan Mahapatra, the legendary Odissi dancer from Odisha, was indeed one of the early recipients of the Padma Bhushan (1961) and also received the Padma Vibhushan (1991). He is internationally recognized as the father of modern Odissi dance and played a crucial role in reviving and popularizing this classical dance form.
