I was instrumental in founding Mountain Diwali Mahotsav since 2017 and launched V5 Cultural Foundation with our board members. I lead, plan, and execute cultural programs for V5. I am an artist by profession, have mastered Bharatnatyam dance form, have acquired a master’s degree in Bharatanatyam Dance from Pune University (India). I have been teaching dance for 30 years in the San Francisco Bay area. Apart from dance I am fond of music as well.
