I am a young Bharatanatyam dancer and teacher based out of Delhi, please find mentioned below a small brief about my journey so far. Bharatanatyam enthralled me as a child and by the age of seven I started formal training under the guidance of Padma Shri Guru Saroja Vaidyanathan. By the time I was fifteen, I was selected to undergo formal training at the renowned Kalakshetra Foundation, Chennai. Six years of learning under renowned gurus and a post diploma under my belt, I moved back to New Delhi. Guru Jamuna Krishnan has been my guide and mentor in Delhi ever since. Currently I am establishing myself as a professional Bharatanatyam dancer and teacher. I have performed across geographies, India and abroad. And to teach is the path I have chosen to keep alive the rich and diverse tradition & cultural heritage of India.
I am a scholarship holder under The Ministry of Culture Scholarship scheme, Government of India.
