Aakaar

Nurturing Traditions and Culture

Aakaar is a platform through which we can keep our Culture and Traditions alive. Aakaar gives wings to your dreams and shapes your passion into reality. The dream of our beloved and respected Guru Smt. Poonamtai Murdeshwar, that the Art of music and dance which is the backbone of our rich culture and tradition should reach every corner of the world and gain respect, is finally turning into reality. Aakaar in its new form promises to shape your life in a beautiful way giving you an opportunity to fill it up with new colours and excitement.

Payal Nritya Natya Niketan in its 50 years of teaching has taught and guided many students and will continue to do so in the future too. Aakaar was conceived originally as an annual program of classical dances. But we found a need for versatility and exposure to various dances in the youth"s hearts. Thus, Aakaar has established itself as a platform where not only students but also teachers can seek help about the authenticity and beauty of our Art and Music which due to a dearth in knowledge, opportunities and genuineness is on a decline.
