Vidushi Kum. Aishwarya R

Vidushi Kum. Aishwarya R began her Bharatanatyam journey at the age of 5 under the guidance of Guru Kalayogi Puli Keshi Kasturi, completing her Junior and Senior level examinations with distinction under the Karnataka Education Board, followed by the Visharada Prathama (6th Level) examination conducted by Akhil Bhartiya Gandharva Mahavidyalaya Mandal, Mumbai. She furthered her training under Kalayogi Guru Satish Babu, completing her Pre-Vidwat examination with distinction from Gangubai Hangal Music and Performing Arts University, and currently awaits her Post-Vidwat results.

In October 2025, she founded Samarpana School of Fine Arts, where she now nurtures around 25 students, passing on the discipline, grace and devotion of classical Bharathanatyam to the next generation.
