I began learning Bharatanatyam as a young child and have spent over twelve years studying this classical Indian dance form. At fourteen, I completed my Arangetram, a three-hour solo debut that marked years of rigorous training. Since then, I've had the honor of performing at iconic venues including Guruvayur Temple, Chidambaram Temple, and Chennai's RR Sabha, experiences that deepened both my appreciation for Indian culture and my understanding of storytelling through movement. Bharatanatyam continues to connect me to my heritage while inspiring many of the projects I pursue today.
