A proud moment for SSGD as our Gurus .ssgd and .ssgd are awarded for representing our culture and hertiage globally by
NALANDA’S KANAKA NARTANA PURASKAAR 2025
Dedicated to the preservation and propagation of Indian dance in particular and Indian culture in general from its founding in 1966, Nalanda Dance Research Centre has unswervingly trodden on its chosen path with single minded determination. Nalanda has always upheld the pricelessness of all that is India and her great ancient culture which consists of the various performing arts, visual arts, and the Artists that make it all Happen ✨
Being a government recognized research centre, Nalanda recognizes and appreciates all those endeavours that probe deep into the all-encompassing cultural phenomena of this great country. Very naturally Nalanda today appreciates and promotes the untiring contribution being made by the present generation of distinguished performers of Art, since this year in the memory of the indomitable Padmabhushan Dr Smt Kanak Rele our revered Eternal Mohini Padmabhushan Dr Smt Kanak Rele, now being done in her memory by the Nalanda Parivaar headed by Dr. Smt.
