Taurya is glad to present an afternoon with Kathak Maestro Dr. Mrs.
Manjiri Deo
one of the most respected kathak teachers on the Indian dance scene,
and
disciple of Nataraj Gopi Krishna - a man so identified
with dancing that Indian dance is unthinkable without remembering the
maestro.

Kulkarni in Kolhapur. She received advanced training in Kathak from
Mrs. Asha Joglekar, Nataraj Gopi Krishna and Dr. Sitara devi. Mrs. Deo
