Padma Shri awardee, Kathak master Pt. Rajendra Gangani, invites you to an enchanting performance where rhythm, grace, and storytelling come alive.
Very few art forms capture movement, expression, and spiritual depth as naturally as Kathak, and few artists honour its legacy with the finesse of Pandit Rajendra Gangani. A master of both the Jaipur and Lucknow gharanas, he blends precision with artistry, infusing tradition with contemporary relevance.
Trained under the legendary Pt. Durga Lal, he has developed a style that is both technically intricate and emotionally evocative. His choreographies explore mythology, philosophy, and modern themes, creating performances that feel timeless yet of-the-moment. Whether on the global stage or in intimate settings, his command of footwork, expressiveness, and storytelling captivates audiences across cultures.
Beyond his awe-inspiring performances, Pt. Gangani’s contributions as a teacher and mentor have shaped the next generation of Kathak artists. His dedication to preserving and evolving the art form has earned him the Sangeet Natak Akademi Award and the Padma Shri, among many other accolades.
