Solo Bharatanatyam Recitals

The solo recital, or 'margam,' is the heart of Bharatanatyam, a journey where a single dancer embodies a universe of characters and emotions. This collection showcases my solo performances at prestigious venues, featuring both traditional pieces and my own choreographies that explore the depth and versatility of this beautiful art form.

The Art of Bharatanatyam: Educational Snippets

Bharatanatyam is more than just dance; it's a rich language of expression, rhythm, and storytelling. In this section, I share short, educational videos that break down some of the core concepts of this art form, from the rhythmic recitation of a 'Jathi' to the poetic expressions of 'Abhinaya'. My goal is to make the technical aspects of dance accessible and interesting for everyone.

Every performance you see on stage is the result of countless hours of practice, preparation, and passion. This is a personal collection of moments from my life as a dancer: the early morning workouts that keep me fit, the behind-the-scenes glimpses from rehearsals, and the quiet, candid moments from my travels that inspire my art.

My Kathakali Days: A Throwback

Before I dedicated myself fully to Bharatanatyam, my journey in classical dance included intensive training in Kathakali during my college years at Kalakshetra. This section is a throwback to those formative days, learning a completely different, powerful, and physically demanding art form. Portraying traditionally male roles like Arjuna was an incredible challenge and a rich learning experience.
