Because it is a black box space with seating for 60 to 80 people, the audience is right there with you. You can see every expression, every mudra, and the effort on the artist's face, which is how this art form is meant to be experienced. We wanted a space where the technical setup does not get in the way of the art. That is why the venue comes equipped with an in-house LED lighting rig and a professional audio system. You do not need to bring your own sound engineers or lighting racks. We provide a private green room, so you have a dedicated space to prep before the curtains go up. Whether you are planning a solo Bharatanatyam recital, an experimental production, or a workshop, the infrastructure is ready for you. We also handle end-to-end ticketing support, so you can focus on the performance rather than the logistics. We are based in Kalkere, Bangalore, and we are firm believers in accessibility. We regularly stream our events live for those who cannot make it to the theatre, widening the reach for the artists we host. If you are looking for a venue that understands the specific needs of a dancer, this is it. Let us talk about your dates and requirements. ## About Parshwanath Upadhye I am Parshwanath. I spent years waiting for opportunities, so I decided to build my own stage instead. The Punyah Theatre is where my team and I create, teach, and host artists who, like me, just want to get to work.
