My dear students,
Thank you for making this Guru Purnima so truly special and sublime. Your reverence, love, and respect touched my heart deeply and are among the most precious blessings a guru can receive.
A heartfelt thank you for organizing such a beautiful get-together. Every thoughtful detail—the warmth, the delicious food, the laughter, and the joy of being together—made it an unforgettable celebration. It was a wonderful blend of Teej, Guru Purnima, and a joyous reunion, all rolled into one.
I feel immensely grateful and blessed to have such loving students. May our bond of learning, respect, and affection continue to grow stronger with every passing year.
With love and blessings always. 🌸

Put on your dancing bells... And lose yourself to the rhythm “You and I,
We meet as strangers, each carrying a mystery within us.
I do not know who you are; I may never know you completely. But I trust that you are a person in your own right, possessed of a beauty and value that are the earth’s richest treasures. So I make this promise to you: I will impose no identities upon you
but will invite you to become yourself without shame or fear. I will hold open a space for you in the world and defend your right to fill it with an authentic vocation. For as long as your search takes, you have my loyalty.”
It was a sublime evening where we remembered our gurus and paid our respects to the Guru Shishya parampara 🙏
Some moments come full circle and fill the heart with gratitude.
My revered Guru, the legendary Guru Hiralal Hasal ji, laid the foundation of Kathak in my life. It was a privilege and a deeply emotional experience to welcome his grandson, DrumCafe India Dr Vinod Hasal , to Nupur Kathak Kendra.
His inspiring workshop was a beautiful blend of rhythm, knowledge, and joy, leaving our students enriched and motivated. We are deeply grateful for your blessings, guidance, and generosity in sharing your art with the next generation.
Our heartfelt thanks to you, sir, for an unforgettable afternoon. We look forward to welcoming you again soon for many more such enriching sessions.
🙏 With gratitude,
Nupur Kathak Kendra

It was truly a proud and memorable moment to be invited to the launch of “Speaking Sculptures” by none other than the illustrious Dr. Shovana Narayan ji.
The book is the culmination of years of meticulous research, deep scholarship, and unwavering dedication. It presents a compelling and evidence-based narrative that re-examines the origins of Kathak, firmly placing the dance form within the rich continuum of the Natyashastra tradition.
What struck me most was the lucid manner in which Shovana ji traces the 108 Karanas through the vocabulary of Kathak as it is practised today. The connections are so convincing and beautifully articulated that, as a Kathak practitioner, I found myself wondering, “Why did the world not recognise this lineage much earlier?”
This landmark work is more than a book—it is a significant contribution to Indian dance scholarship. It invites dancers, researchers, and art lovers alike to rediscover Kathak through the lens of history, sculpture, and textual tradition.
Heartfelt congratulations and gratitude to Dr. Shovana Narayan ji for enriching the world of Indian classical dance with such a remarkable work.
