...Which Bani do you practice?
…I have learnt one Bani for ten years now, would it be difficult to adapt to another Bani when I join this class?
…We both are from the same Bani, yet we dance differently....
…Is it necessary to follow a particular Bani?
Bani! Bani! Bani!
Natyacharyas and Gurus have heard these questions almost every day and curious students of the art have been puzzled by them often. We are from a time period where following a traditional Bani coexists with the practice of assimilation of several Banis.
Come, delve into my memoir, and get your answers to these questions.
I will take you through my journey, discuss my origins and introduce my unique features. By the end of the book your will either give a sigh of relief understanding my transcendental nature or be proud of following one particular branch with conviction.
So, pick this book and enjoy getting to know me better!
