Successful First Vasantotsav!

We were delighted to present our first annual Vasantotsav (Prakriti aur Parampara – Nature and Tradition) on June 6, 2026 at Eden Prairie CMS. Our emerging choreographers (Aaratrika Mondal, Sarika Haris, Rupa Nair and Shilpi Chatterjee) and our Company and Apprentice dancers shone in a memorable performance. We were pleased to have Dr. S.K. Dash and Ram Gada as our guests of honor to introduce the proceedings, and the night was dedicated to the legendary maestro Pandit Birju Maharaj and his teachings. It was a beautiful start to what we hope becomes an annual Spring/Summer tradition.
