Divya Goswami: Kathak Artist from a Storied Lineage

Divya Goswami, a Kathak artist and storyteller hailing from the revered lineage of philosopher Swami Ram Tirtha, masterfully blends tradition and expression in her craft.

Divya Goswami, an exceptional Kathak artist, writer, and storyteller, emanates from the revered lineage of philosopher Swami Ram Tirtha. Her ethos, "Dance is each moment lived to the optimum, with complete abandon and total awareness," embodies her artistic spirit. Schooled in the Lucknow Gharana under Guru Yogini Gandhi and the legendary Guru Munna Shukla Ji, with Guru Kamalini Dutt as her Mansik Guru, Divya masters both rhythmic (nritta) and emotive (nritya) expressions. She has enchanted audiences at premier festivals and global stages, earning accolades such as the National Award 'Ustad Bismillah Khan Yuva Purushkar' and the 'Singar Mani' title.

As an ICCR Empaneled and A Grade Doordarshan artist, her influence spans TEDx, SPICMACAY, and BAITHAK initiatives. Through 'Divyakala,' she champions Indian Classical Arts, fostering a meditative odyssey toward truth and enlightenment. For Divya, dance is a sadhana, an expression of love, surrender, and a profound way of life.
