Nayika is a festival that reveres the spirit of the feminine divine, the dynamism of dance, power of storytelling, and the enduring beauty of our artistic heritage. As we step into the ninth edition of Nayika, we gather beneath a luminous canopy of tradition and creativity to celebrate the timeless contributions of women to the world of classical dance and the arts. This festival is not merely a performance - it is a tribute, a salutation to the women who have shaped, preserved, and elevated artistic expression across generations. As we embark on this journey through movement and melody, let us reflect on the unseen stories - of sacrifice, perseverance, and artistic brilliance - that have enriched our classical traditions. Each performance today stands as a testament to those who danced not just with their feet, but with their hearts and souls, leaving an indelible mark on the world stage. The Chief Guest is Dr.Lalitha Srinivasan, a Kendra Sangeeth Natak Academy awardee.
