Kathak exponent and Padma Vibhushan awardee Pt Birju Maharaj was the torchbearer of which gharana of the Lucknow style of Kathak?
Kalka-Bindadin
The correct answer is Kalka-Bindadin.
The Jaipur Gharana developed under the patronage of the Rajput rulers of Jaipur and is known for its athleticism, speed, and complex pure dance (nritta) sequences, especially intricate footwork patterns and improvisations. The Banaras Gharana is considered the oldest gharana and has influences from both Hindu and Muslim traditions. It is known for its devotional aspects and a more reserved style of performance compared to Lucknow and Jaipur. The Kalka-Bindadin lineage is particularly celebrated for its contribution to the rhythmic and expressive aspects of the Lucknow Gharana, producing maestros who shaped modern Kathak.
