About Recognition & Milestones
Receiving 'B' Grade artist recognition from Doordarshan is a milestone that deeply humbles me. It represents the culmination of hours spent refining my adavus and abhinaya under the guidance of my gurus, Karnataka Kalashree Guru Smt. K. Brunda and Vidushi Smt. Ananya M. This grading is not just a title but a confirmation of the disciplined riyaz [practice] required to maintain classical standards in every performance.
Dance is a continuous learning process. Every opportunity to perform, whether as an opening act for A.R. Rahman at Mysuru Yuva Dasara or at the storied Sevasadan in Malleshwaram, adds a layer of depth to my artistry. Performing during the Navaratri festival at Mysore Palace or at local temples like Sree Devi Karumariamma in Rajarajeshwari Nagar connects me to the roots of this tradition.
These are not just gigs; they are opportunities to share stories through movement and expression. Meeting state leaders like Chief Minister Siddaramaiah after these performances reinforces the role of classical dance in our cultural fabric. For students or organizers looking to collaborate, my focus remains on the purity of the form and the sincerity of the performance. Whether preparing for a Margam recital or an ensemble production, I believe the preparation behind the scenes is as vital as the final stage appearance. I look forward to continuing this path and sharing the magic of Bharatanatyam with everyone I meet.
