"Dedicated Bharatanatyam dancer trained under the traditional Gurukula system, with extensive guidance from esteemed teachers. A versatile artist, I have honed my skills as a performer, choreographer, teacher, and researcher, deeply immersed in the rich cultural heritage of Bharatanatyam. My passion for the art form drives me to explore and innovate, whether on stage, in the studio, or through scholarly research. Committed to preserving and advancing this classical dance, I aim to inspire and educate the next generation of artists while continuing to evolve as a performer and creator."
