If you are a reader who takes joy in learning about the Shastras of Kathak or is curious about the evolution of Kathak along with its treatises then this short read is for you. This book describes my tryst with Kathak classical dance and its Shastras, how I met Mahamahopadyay Dr. Puru Dadheech, and the doors to a wonderful world that opened up. It contains excerpts from my previously published articles about Mahamahopadyay Dr. Puru Dadheech's work that have been enjoyed by readers.
This book also contains aspects of history and criticism, literary criticism in the light of historical evidence or based on the context of Medieval dance texts. These are but a few pearls from the ocean of knowledge that have been researched and shared by Mahamahopadhyay Dr. Puru Dadheech and my interaction with his research.
