Recognition Across Generations
“You have won the hearts of millions of people in our state and the entire nation. Magician of Odisha.”

“Your performance has proved today, how small are our films in front of these performances.”
“India stands on its farmers and workers. Today these workers have proved it again for us. Today they have shown what wonder a worker can do.”
“You started your performance quietly and you took our breath away. I am speechless from the first act. With belief and discipline you perform each and every act. You tell a story through your formations.”
“Congratulations to them for their incredible act, commitment, choreography, versatility and sheer will to fight all odds and come out on top. I can now admit without prejudice that they were, from the time I first saw them shooting in Kolkata, my favourite act.”
