With the blessings of Lord Jagannath, Gurus, and Elders, We warmly invite you to Aashi Goel's Rangapuja. Aashi has been learning Odissi since the age of five. She is a strong, disciplined dancer, admired for her impeccable posture, graceful presence, and unwavering dedication to the art.

This occasion is especially meaningful as it marks the 20th Rangapuja of iGurukul Odissi—a celebration of two decades of nurturing young artists through the timeless tradition of Guru-Shishya Parampara.

Adding to the grandeur of this special occasion, Aashi will perform to the accompaniment of an esteemed live orchestra from India:
🎶 Dr. Sangita Gosain – Vocal
🎶 Dilip Acharya – Vocal
🎶 Swapneswar Chakraborty – Sitar
🎶 Budhanath Swain – Mardal
🎶 Rudraprasad Parida – Flute
