I started my dance career at the age of 4 in Bharathnatyam under Vidwan Keshav Kumar from Shimoga and later from renowned institution of Bengaluru Kalakshiti, under the guidence of Professor M.R. Krishnamurthy Bengaluru for about 20 years. During those 20 years I’ve travelled many places in India & performed solo as well as group. Along with it, I have been trained in Carnatic music and Flute as well. However, it was the lyrical beauty of Odissi dance that attracted me towards it and initially started learning Odissi with Guru Uday kumar shetty and later continued learning dance form at Bengaluru’s leading Odissi dance institution, Nrityantar under the able guidance of well-known Odissi dancer & choreographer, Guru Smt. Madhulita Mohapatra . I regularly perform as a soloist and also as part of the acclaimed Nrityantar Dance Ensemble at several prestigious dance festivals across the country and overseas.

Passion for dance from young age had helped me to develop the confidence and trust in my thoughts and capabilities. Helped me to explore the different dimensions of the body & space and keep my mind calm & stable always. 

​

I have love towards Theatre also. Well, unfortunately My theater calling had taken a back seat right after my studies, Its my privilege to get closely associated with our own  team "Rangaratha - Indian Performing Arts Company” and my theatre journey which is now back in Action from last year as MALAVIKA of Kalidasa’s Malavikagnimitra - Kannada ROMCOM, a super hit debut Production from our team Directed by Aasif Kshatriya sir and Shwetha Srinivas. 

Our recent production Shakthi - a rare blend of Odissi and Yakshagana - bringing two different Art forms together on an unique 360 degree platform to experience an Inward journey along with the Audience while narrating unheard story of Indian Mythology.

I would like travel and Explore places. Roadtrips are my favorite & the best company for the same is my companion for life , we have travelled most of the parts in India by Road. Hills & woods are

my all time favourite places to visit.
