About
The Singaporean Indian dance community is grieving the loss of esteemed bharatanatyam dancer and guru Usharani Maniam, who died on March 3 at the age of 76. For over 50 years, Mrs Usharani dedicated herself to Indian classical dance, nurturing generations of dancers and instructors. She was instrumental in bringing bharatanatyam beyond traditional halls into schools and community centres, expanding its reach in Singapore. Her journey in dance began at four years old, and by nine, she had already won a gold medal from the Mayor of Penang for her bharatanatyam performance. She later graduated from Bhaskar’s Arts Academy in 1963. In 2024, Mrs Usharani was inducted into Singapore’s Indian Hall of Fame in recognition of her contributions to the arts.
