Karunada Gurukula is committed to nurturing excellence in Bharatanatyam, Kathak, and Music through the timeless tradition of the Guru-Shishya Parampara—a sacred bond between teacher and student. At Gurukula, learning is not merely an activity but a way of life. We emphasize holistic training, blending theoretical knowledge with practical experience, to immerse students in the richness of Indian culture.
Through dance, learning, and performance, students not only gain confidence but also develop a deep sense of connection to their heritage. Karunada Gurukula is our heartfelt vision—a space where art is revered, nurtured, and passed on to future generations. Our mission is to make cultural education accessible, offering training to all aspiring students, including those who may not have the means to afford it.
For over 23 years, Purandara International Trust has been a quiet force behind India's rich cultural pulse. Officially registered in 2011, the Trust was founded by Mohan Kumar and Dr. Suvarna Mohan with a singular mission - to preserve, promote, and pass on the timeless legacy of Dasa Sahithya and classical arts.
With over 200 events curated to date, the Trust has become a beacon for emerging talent, a platform for unsung heroes, and a sanctuary for art in its purest form. From empowering middle-aged women to embrace their cultural identity, to uplifting the downtrodden and nurturing young artists, the Trust doesn’t just support art — it sustains it. Karunada Gurukula, a proud tributary of this vision, stands as a dedicated space for music and performing arts where passion meets discipline, and tradition becomes tomorrow.
