Āranyani - The Forest Goddess

What a magical evening—a true celebration of dance!
Experiencing the extraordinary artistry of Sri Shijith Nambiar and Smt Parvathy Menon unfold on stage was nothing short of mesmerizing. Their passion, creativity, and powerful presence lit up the stage and left us all profoundly inspired.

Sri Puneet Panda and Smt Taniya Panda were simply captivating. The grace and soul they brought to the Ragamalika Jathiswaram made it a performance to cherish.

It was also a joy to see our Bharathakala students present the Dasavatharam piece. We are incredibly grateful for the opportunity they had to learn from and perform such exquisite choreography by Shijith and Parvathy.

Performances like this reaffirm why we do what we do—to foster a deep love for the arts and celebrate the beautiful intersection of tradition and creativity. It was truly a night to remember, and we look forward to many more!

We wish our BK family and friends a very Happy Janmashtami!

Oh Krishna!, You have so many names and avatars, but in our hearts you are one.

Dr. Shan Lakshmanan Ph.D will be conducting multiple workshops throughout the weekend. Please take advantage of these wonderful sessions.

We highly recommend the Youth & Wellness Empowerment workshop for our Middle school and High school students, today @ 6:00 PM at the Bharathakala Studio.

We look forward to seeing you there!!

Coming back to normalcy, one step at a time. It's a pleasure to see the girls back in the dance school
