About the event
Kritya has always been dedicated to taking the timeless traditions of Carnatic music and Kuchipudi dance to audiences worldwide. This January 2025, we are thrilled to return to India to perform at one of Chennai’s most prestigious venues: Krishna Gana Sabha.
Performing in India holds a special significance for us. While we share our art internationally, the validation and love from an Indian audience feel like a profound acknowledgment of our roots and authenticity.
Our performance at Krishna Gana Sabha is particularly meaningful. Yamini’s guru, Dr. Sobha Naidu, was the first Kuchipudi artist to receive the esteemed Nrithya Choodamani Award from this historic institution. Following in her footsteps, Yamini is proud to continue Kritya’s mission of preserving and celebrating the Kuchipudi dance-drama tradition.
