About Natyaradana
A school built on the art, and on the learner.
Natyaradana is a modern classical performing arts academy — rooted in tradition, guided by experience, and shaped around every learner's journey.
Our story
Where it began.
Natyaradana began in 2012 with a simple desire: to preserve, teach and share classical art in the right form, while shaping individuals through the discipline, creativity and culture the art carries.
What started in Chengalpattu grew steadily. More than 400 students have since trained with Natyaradana, many progressing through Salangai Pooja and being prepared for significant cultural and performance opportunities.

Philosophy
Understand the learner first.
Teach the art in the right form. Understand the learner. Help them grow. Inspire them to inspire others through the art.
Under the guidance of founder Dr. Sripriya Kapisthalam, every learner's journey is shaped around who they are — not a one-size-fits-all syllabus.
