Classical dance has long been regarded as a form of worship in the Vedic period, where individuals devoted themselves to the art of dance, known as Debdashi Pratha. I have a deep admiration for this ancient culture, which radiates positive energy. My guru is not only my teacher but also my philosopher, her dance Abhinaya, and profound knowledge are truly captivating. She consistently provides us with valuable guidance. I've always been inspired by the legendary artist Dr. Vempati Chinna Satyam, a Padmabhushan Awardee, and I've also admired the profound wisdom of Raja and Radha Reddy, who are exceptional philosophers in their own right.
