About
May 2, 1928: The Hattangady family lovingly welcomed into their fold, their first daughter and named her after the Devi- Maha Maya, endearingly known as 'Baabli' at home. "Maya means, one born in May," her Russian family would say, fondly calling her Mayichkaa, during her Moscow days. Maya didi, was probably her universal identity. Maya ji, Maya didi, Mayichkaa, Ma, Dr Rao... Maya Rao's name became synonymous with dance. Pioneering Kathak dancer, path breaking choreographer, ubiquitous mentor, founder of India's first college of choreography, revivalist, curator, Guru....she donned all these and several other hats.
