The childhood memories of Indian classical tunes, the sounds of drums, beautiful girls dressed up for various Dance forms-all adjacent to my home in a music school connected my chord of Art as Kathak Dance and Painting and now I dedicate it to charitable purposes also. This artistic journey began at the age of 15 years with my first stage show at ISKCON Temple’s auditorium, a group kathak dance presentation under Guru Miss Ruby’s guidance. Alongside fellow dancers, I performed for the show, earning appreciation from artists and musicians.

“I started my Kathak journey under the immensely talented and humble Guru Asha Tai, fondly called by everyone as “Maushi”. She was a positive role model in my life, shaping my career as an artist and influencing the person I am today. Maushi, once told me “Keep dancing till your last breath!” and I am going to do everything in me to keep my dance alive!”
“Akshara proved herself as a solo performer …. she also impressed as a KathaKar in the group performance with her well-trained students …”
