The Art, The Lineage
A sanctuary for classical Indian dance — where devotion, discipline and artistry converge, from the deserts of Pushkar to the hills of Himachal.
Guru Tejaswini Gautam
Odissi Exponent & Choreographer
Tejaswini has devoted her life to keeping the ancient Odissi tradition alive — blending rigorous classical training with expressive storytelling. A lifelong performer and teacher, she has shared the stage across India and guided students from around the world.
Her training in the Guru-Shishya parampara shapes every class she teaches — patient, personal and rooted in the belief that technique means little without devotion. Today she leads two studios, one amid the desert temples of Pushkar and one in the Himalayan foothills of Himachal Pradesh, welcoming dancers of every age and background into the tradition.
