Sri Gurubhyo Namaha!
Namaskaram, dear friends—
It brings me great joy to announce that my dear student Rihana will be presenting her Arangetram on August 16th at 3:00 PM at the Campbell Heritage Theatre.
Her thematic Arangetram, titled "Parama Premam," is a specially curated Margam that explores Divine Love—a love that transcends all boundaries of race, religion, and division. The performance will be accompanied by a live orchestra featuring talented artists who will bring this vision to life.

Rihana began her Bharatanatyam journey with me at the age of six. Now, as she graduates from high school and prepares to attend UC Berkeley, she is ready to ascend the Arangetram stage with this meaningful and heartfelt presentation.
Together with her parents Rajy and Jasmeer, and her brother Rishab, I warmly invite you to join us for this beautiful celebration of dance and devotion.🙏🏼
