About

I will be performing Bharatanatyam; it is one of the classical dance forms of India.

I will be performing to a kirthane - Brochevarevarura (meaning “Who else, but you is my savior oh Lord Rama”)

I decided to perform to this song because it is appropriate to the situation we are in – navigating through this pandemic in uncertain times and not knowing when this will end; we seek protection from God to keep us safe.
