I am a faculty member of Ganesa Natyalaya and a National scholarship holder for Bharatanatyam of the Ministry of Culture, Government of India as well as a State scholarship holder from Sahitya Kala Parishad, Delhi. I am also empanelled with the Indian Council for Cultural Relations (ICCR) and a graded artist with the Delhi Doordarshan.
I have performed at the Vishwa Hindu Temple in Ohio, Columbus, and at the Beijing International Tourism Festival. I have visited several countries including Germany, Denmark, Poland, Bosnia, Luxembourg, Ethiopia, Nigeria, Ivory Coast, Cameroon, Senegal and Gambia as a troupe member on ICCR Sponsored Bharatanatyam Tours. I have had the distinction of being selected as a member on the 100 member all India team to a cultural and social exchange programme that toured several prominent Chinese cities including Beijing, Shanghai, Xian and Guanzhou in October 2006. In January 2008, I performed at Nagoya, Japan for the promotion of tourism to India.
In future, I wish to grow and emerge as a successful solo dancer, explore new dimensions in the art form and work for art- management in our country
