Watching our daughter Theertha perform her Arangettam at the Guruvayur Temple was a moment of immense pride for us. Our heartfelt gratitude to our inspiring guru, Priya Manoj Ma’am, whose guidance and dedication over the past eight years have shaped Theertha’s journey in this sacred art. We also deeply appreciate Arya Ma’am for her valuable support. This Dance Academy offers a positive and motivating learning.
