Bhattacharya has trained under Padmashree Guru Rani Karnaa.

She is the co-founder of “Ranan Performance collective”, and also heads Ranan’s Kathak training wing – ‘Brindar’.

Indian High Commission in Dhaka has invited her for the Republic Day celebration. She performed at the reception on Monday.

Indira Gandhi Cultural Centre will organise the Wednesday’s show at Chhayanaut in Dhanmondhi.

The show will begin at 7pm.

Kathak is among the six major classical dances of India.

The word Kathak is derived from katha, meaning “the art of storytelling”.

It is known for its precise and scintillating pure dance, elegant and subtle grace, and nuanced expressional pieces.

This form has also responded exceptionally well to various experiments and interactions.
