The Significance of Arangetram & Rangapravesham

The first stage performance marks the dancer’s transition from a dedicated student to a blossoming artist. It is a moment that holds immense meaning for:

Parents, who witness years of hard work and discipline come alive
Gurus, who see their training honored on stage
Dancers, who experience a sacred rite of passage rooted in tradition

This ceremony deserves images that reflect its spiritual depth, vibrant storytelling, and lifelong pride. Professional documentation ensures these memories remain as timeless as the dance form itself.

I’ve had the privilege of working with amazing dancers and have been honored with several awards for my work.
