The music for this piece is by Pandit Bhubaneswar Misra (the first stanza only) and Pandit Raghunath Panigrahi. The magnificent nritta bits are composed by my Guru Padma Vibhushan Kelucharan Mohapatra. This item was composed for Sanjukta Panigrahi in 1979 (September, to be precise), in Guruji's Samanta Sahi residence. I was present the very evening the first stanza of the music was composed, by Bhubaneswar Sir. Guruji was composing another rather magnificent 45-minute piece for me. It's imperative that credit is given to the musicians and the Guru. That's the law. It is another matter that there's an element called artistic 'integrity" - where we don't simply take dance pieces choreographed by the greatest of Gurus and do with them as we please. We may not tamper with Guru Kelucharan Mohapatra's choreography. The field of sahitya and music are limitless. If we want to choreograph "Ardhanareeshwara," and not seriously violate Guru Kelucharan Mohapatra's choreography, we might certainly ask any Odissi musician to compose the music and nritta bits afresh for us.

I don't think two men work. The point is lost. That said, it takes all kinds and interpretations.

[@avijit3178]

Two women can, right?

[@sarahcohen3844]

@@avijit3178 It's best with a man and a woman. Visually, the message is delivered. That said, one woman can dress as a man and put on a fake mustache, and it's at least somewhat better.

They are perfect in expressing Ardhanareeshwara in my view . Both are very good especially the expression and bangimas( postures) of Parvati.
