This is the essence of my work—Nritya, Kalike, Karma. From intensive weekend workshops and digital classes to our immersive residential retreats in Chikhale, I help you build a solid foundation in Bharatanatyam through discipline and deep focus.

This is the essence of our practice: Nritya, Kalike, Karma. Dance, learning, and action. A glimpse into a focused session where students are completely immersed in the rhythm and discipline of Bharatanatyam.

Leading a workshop is about sharing energy and technique. Here, I am demonstrating a specific posture and movement, guiding students through the nuances of the form before they practice it together. The session ends with a sense of shared accomplishment.

A look inside our residential retreat at Chikhale. It's a space where dance is integrated with nature and daily life. This video shows moments of practice, play, and the simple joys of our modern Gurukula.

We are taking our art to the world. This poster announces our upcoming USA tour with Adithya PV, where we will be premiering new work and conducting intensive workshops for dancers in America.

Practice is a personal conversation with the art form. This is a solo rehearsal of the Kalinga Narthana Devaranama, focusing on the intricate footwork and expressive storytelling that are central to our Bharatanatyam training.

The heart of learning is in the listening and observing. This moment captures the deep concentration and emotional connection, or Bhava, of students as they absorb the details of a lesson.

A personal invitation to our upcoming three day intensive Bharatanatyam workshop in Siliguri. I explain how we structure the sessions for different learning levels, focusing on Nritta, Abhinaya, and interesting compositions.

The stage is where hard work transforms into art. Here is a student performing a piece from "Sādhana Kēri," a Bharatanatyam Margam based on the beautiful poetry of Da. Ra. Bendre.

About Featured

If you are joining one of my intensive workshops, come with the mindset that we will cover ground quickly. We do not just learn steps, we break down Nritta and Abhinaya techniques with a focus on precision and theory. Be prepared to show up 15 minutes early and put in the work, because in my studio, tenacity is worth more than talent.

I’m Parshwanath. I don’t believe in shortcuts—I spent years working, doubting, and eventually building my own stage, Punyah Theatre. I teach with joy and a bit of fire because I know that the real journey is in the daily grind, not just the applause.
