I explore lesser-known mythological narratives through research-based Bharatanatyam productions and painting exhibitions. My work blends scholarly investigation with artistic performance to bring ancient stories into a modern dialogue.

My Story
Namaskar, I’m Himanshu. Grew up in Prayagraj, surrounded by dance and colors. My gurus—especially my mother, Smt. Kamalini Nagarajan Dutt—shaped everything I do. Lost her, but her lessons walk with me. I see Bharatanatyam and painting as one big sangam, mixing Chola lines, Ajanta colors, and Phad technique. My Ph.D. even tied dance to sculpture. I dance, paint, and research to keep Amma’s vision alive. Art is my way to ask, ‘when next?’
My Work
What I Offer - Thematic Bharatanatyam productions (solo, duet, collaborations), painting exhibitions with art talks, and research-based workshops on Indian art and mythology.
My Approach - It’s never just about performing. I dig into shastras, epics—stories like Shikhandi and Ras-E-Raskhan—then shape them for today.
Art Meets Dance - My painting style—Chola-inspired lines, Ajanta colors—feeds my choreography. Both arts live together at @thenatyachitra.
Stories Close to Me - Solo acts like Shikhandi and UnEklavya aren’t just tales, but questions. I want audiences to feel, to think, to connect.
