Yug Rakshak 🫶🥰
Thank you Santosh Suresh Jain for capturing and creating memories of Yug Rakshak 🙏

From mythology to the modern era. From Lord Shiv to the Indian Army. From countless practices to the grand show yesterday evening…

Our Yugrakshaks finally took the stage — and what an incredible way they presented themselves, in front of a full house! ❤️

A journey of dedication, hard work, passion and perseverance — brought to life on stage. ✨

Yugrakshak — Guardian Through the Ages.🙏✨

Naren Bedekar Photography .. thanks Naren ji for capturing amazing photos

From devotion to courage.
From mythology to history.
From warriors to guardians.

Today, we bring the stories of our Yugrakshaks to life through Kathak.

Months of hard work.
One stage.
One unforgettable evening.

And the best part — we are HOUSEFULL!

YUGRAKSHAK — Guardian Through the Ages. 🇮🇳

Gurupurnima 2026
My humble effort is to keep our rich culture and traditions alive, even miles away from India. Through Kathak, I hope to pass on not just dance, but also our sanskar and connection to our roots to the next generations in New Zealand.

Blessed and grateful for this beautiful journey 🙏🙏

Dear Guru Rajashree Jawadekar Taai and Guru Sonia Parchure Taai
Every tatkar, every chakkar, every expression, and every lesson I share with my students carries the imprint of your guidance, discipline, and blessings. As I continue my journey as a Kathak teacher, I understand more deeply the patience, dedication, and selfless love that defines a true Guru.

Thank you for not only teaching me the art of Kathak but also for shaping me with values and discipline. I am forever grateful to be a part of this beautiful Guru–Shishya Parampara.May I always carry your teachings forward with respect and gratitude.
🙏🙏🙏
