significance of the awards and dance education in
India.
How did this idea of launching the Bharat Muni Samman come about?
I have been privileged to receive various awards like the Kalidas Samman
in 2006 and the Padmashri and other awards. During my career, I have
been interacting with lot of cultural and literary personalities
concerning my research work in Mohiniattam and while writing books on
dance. When I reflect back on the work, I realized that it is high time
that I must contribute and express my gratitude to these veterans whom I
have selected for the award.
