MyVoice: Views of our readers 5th August 2024 A true icon of Indian classical dance Yamini Krishnamurti, a true icon of classical dance, passed away at 84 in Delhi 3 Aug. 2024. The doyenne of Bharatanatyam, Kuchipudi and Odissi for over four decades, she was a recipient of Padma Shri in 1968, Padma Bhushan in 2001 and Padma Vibhushan in 2016.

Bharatanatyam is not going to be the same without her. She was so focused and dedicated to classical dance. The dancing fraternity will feel most regretful after her death.
