🪔 About
She inherited the dual legacies of her grandmother, and her Indian upbringing which was steeped in classical traditions. Born in a culturally cosmopolitan household—her grandmother ended up marrying a Maharashtrian from Kolhapur—Niranjan feels her diverse heritage enriches her as an artist. Now 40, Niranjan who began learning Kathak when she was just seven, later moved to Bharatanatyam. She has explored diverse oeuvres like Bollywood, lavani, western dance, Maharashtrian folk dances and Bharatanatyam. She innovatively blended Bharatanatyam with the lilting melodies of Polish folk music; her piece Polska Spotyka Indie (When Poland Meets India) combines Bharatanatyam’s ancient rhythms with Polish folk melodies.
