Testimonials
Sharmada is a remarkable Bharatanatyam dancer, embodying grace, precision, and deep devotion to the art. As a disciple of the esteemed Guru Padma Shri Chitra Visweswaran, she carries forward a rich legacy with impeccable technique and expressive abhinaya. A true artiste in the making!
— Guru Smt. Srekala Bharath, Dancer and Director, Thejas School of Performing Art
A disciple of Padma Shri Awardee Smt Chitra Vishweshwaran, (Chitra Akka to all of us ) , Sharmada’s performance reflected the depth of training and discipline that comes from her parampara. Her footwork was clean and precise, her abhinaya was expressive and well thought out, and she maintained a strong connection with the audience throughout.
— Dr. Ambika Kameshwar,, Director, RASA
