SHRIMATI SANASAM ONGBI JASODA DEVI
Akademi Award: Dance
Shrimati Sanasam Ongbi Jasoda Devi, born in 1964 at Khamarang Mayai Leikai, Imphal, is a noted exponent of Sutra, which is an intrinsic part of Raas, the Manipuri Classical Dance form.
She was introduced to Manipuri dance at the early age of 10 under the guidance of Guru Iboton Singh and later received further training under the watchful eyes of many prominent Gurus such as Th. Munal Singh, S. Kalidamon Singh, and Kh. Leibaklotpi Devi.
Smt. Jasoda steadfastly matured to be a versatile artiste and earned herself a distinct place in Manipuri Nata Sankirtana as Duhar-performer.
During her primetime Jasoda's charismatic performance was unmatched. She perfected herself by earning a Post-Graduate Diploma in Manipuri Raas from JNMDA, Imphal.
As a performer, she had been a member of the Manipuri troupe in a number of cultural festivals and other programmes in India and abroad.
And the innumerable disciples in her following betokens of her degree of success as a Guru. She was earlier honoured with a Gold Medal by the Manipuri Sahitya Parishad.
For her excellence in the field of Dance, Shrimati Sanasam Ongbi Jasoda Devi is conferred with the Manipur State Kala Akademi Award 2010.
