Please Click on this Link For "The Hindu" Newspaper Article About Our Bharatnatyam Dance Teacher Charulatha and The Hindu's comment on our Mandir:

"The ‘Mandir' where Charulatha teaches is a virtual melting pot of cultures, with students hailing from various parts of India. “It is more than a dance class. It is the place where students meet other Indian kids, bond and rediscover culture. Learning Bharatanatyam is their way of keeping in touch with their roots.”
