Postal stamps released in names of 4 legends of Odisha on 30 March 2023
Postal stamps released in names of 4 Odisha legends. They are late music director Akshaya Mohanty, Odissi exponent Guru Kelu Charan Mohapatra, noted writer Laxmikanta Mahpatra and first woman Odia film director Parbati Ghose.
Parbati Ghose (born Chapala Nayak; 28 March 1942 – 12 February 2018)was an Indian actress, film director and film producer.Ghose was the first female filmmaker from the state of Odisha.
Ghose died on 12 February 2018, at the age of 84 in Bhubaneswar. The state government of Odisha held a state funeral in her honor. In early days of Odia cinema, she single-handedly uplifted it to a new level. She is considered as a symbol of women's empowerment when an idea like empowerment was unheard of. Her departure is a great loss to our industry and the world of silver screen. She will always be remembered for her contribution to Odia cinema.
