Kala Dyuti School of Fine Arts is founded and run by Aparna Seetharaman. The school currently offers lessons in Bharatanatyam and Indian Folk Dances for children and adults.

The pursuit of Fine Arts enables not just one’s physical fitness, but also mental focus and spiritual development. It is innately a personal journey, and hence her teaching also caters to each individual. In this, she follows in the footsteps of all her Gurus that she has been fortunate to learn from.
