As part of the commemoration of fifty
years, the Government Museum and Art Gallery, Chandigarh is celebrating its
Indian miniature painting collection through a unique event where Saumya
Shukla, an exponent of Kathak will be presenting through her narrative dance,
the close connection between the miniature painting and Kathak. Invocation of
Ganesha, love play of Radha-Krishna, celebrating the monsoon, dance at the
court, will be some themes she will dwell upon to bring alive the miniature art
tradition. Saumya began her dance under the guidance of her guru
Nrityashri Alaknanda, a renowned Kathak dancer and a disciple of Guru Munna Lal
Shukla and Pandit Birju Maharaj. She holds a graduation degree from
Gandharva Mahavidyalaya, Mumbai. She is a senior dancer in her Guru’s dance
troupe, ‘Alaknanda Sanskriti’ and has travelled with her extensively in India,
Singapore, Poland, Bulgaria, Bosnia and Herzegovina for performances in her
choreographies. She has also given solo performances at various venues in India
and abroad. Saumya was also selected by the Indian Council for Cultural
Relations as a Kathak Dance Teacher and Performer for the Amrita SherGil
