| About our Dancers
Govardhana devi dasi trained in Bharat Natyam under Guru Srimati Thankamani
Kutty of the Kalamandalam School in Calcutta. She has taught the art in Britain since
1981 and now lives in Hertfordshire. She is renowned for highly emotive performances,
captivating even the hearts of those unfamiliar with this, the best loved of all forms
of Indian classical dance.
Indulekha devi dasi is currently training in Bharat Natyam under Guru
Prakash Yadagudde of the Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan in West Kensington. For the last three
years she has also studied the art of classical singing (in the South Indian Karnatic
style).
Booking a Dance Performance
To avoid disappointment, please book as early as possible, giving at least two weeks

notice or in emergencies.
