I was born in Lucknow 1938, 4 February. It was Friday. A hot day as it usually happens in spring…in that home where I was born there were only girls. I was the only boy. So our neighbours came saw that that there were all girls and just one boy… like Krishna and gopis they used to say. So my name became Brijmohan Misra. Brij is the name of the city where Krishna was born and ‘Mohan ‘means attraction. Brijmohan is a way of saying Krishna, the god of love and dance.“ — Birju Maharaj
A legend who was born to be an artist .
We as a generation associate the word Kathak with Maharaj ji.
