Portfolio- Art And Dance

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.

 Subsequent performances include : 

  • ⁠ Jalsa 1, a charity stage show at Prachin Kala Kendra, Delhi, under Guru gangwani ji and Guru Hoshiarpur ji’s mentorship, 
  • ⁠ Jalsa 2, consecutive year, with bringing joy and appreciation from attendees.

 My Kathak performances aim to: 

  • ⁠⁠Preserve India’s rich cultural heritage
  • ⁠Empower women and skill education through art and education
  • Support charitable causes

 As a Painter, I regularly exhibit my works: 

  •   Amazon.in for Sale
  •   Community centers
  • ⁠  ⁠Exhibitions
  • ⁠  Fairs and festivals
  • ⁠  School exhibitions

Sharing my skills and promoting art, happiness, and colors among students and community members, my paintings are now available on Amazon.in, supporting art enthusiasts
