Mysore/Mysuru: Nruthyathi Kalaashale, Mysuru, will present the Bharatanatyam Rangavidhipraveshika of Harshini Iyer, a dedicated disciple of Guru Anusha Varun, on Jan. 25 (Sunday) at 4.30 pm at Jagan Mohan Palace auditorium in city.
This milestone marks the culmination of Harshini’s disciplined artistic journey, a path strengthened by the constant encouragement of her father D.
