Bharatanatyam performance at Sri Krishna Gana Sabha, Chennai on 31 July 2016

Sri Krishna Gana Sabha, Chennai on 31 July 2016

Sri Krishna Gana Sabha is one of the well-established, most respected and dynamic cultural institutions in India today. Since the Sabha’s beginning in 1953, it has played host to some of the greatest exponents of Indian classical music, and Indian classical dance. The Sabha has displayed a deep commitment to the advancement of academic research in the classical arts through the various successful conferences and discussions it hosts throughout the year.

In July of 2016, I had a great opportunity to perform here with Kalyani (an amazing dancer and wonderful friend).

Looking back, the preparation for the performance was a lot of fun, because the two of us had a great time practicing and coordinating together. The constant encouragement from Sundaram Mama, Gomathi Mami, Nithya Mami, and Savithri Mami helped both of us get through the stress and pre-performance nerves. Not to mention, my dear friend Kalyani helped me so much throughout the entire process, and we became exceedingly close over the course of the trip. Ultimately, I'm extremely thankful to Sundaram Mama for the opportunity, and the entire experience will remain close to my heart forever. 

Here are some pictures.
