Our Journey

Kala Saadhna Indian art & Culture centre was founded and established by Aparna Mishra – A kathak guru & conscience coach. It was her grandmother Smt. Rama Mishra ‘s endless support and guru’s wish, that in early 2000 on the occasion of ‘Basant Panchami’, with a strong vision she laid the foundation of Kala Saadhna to nurture and promote kathak.

She began learning Kathak at the age of 3 under Late Pandit Viswanath Mishra, a celebrated Kathak guru and her great grandfather who hailed from Mithila and followed the ‘parampara’ of Benaras Gharana. She laid the foundation with a goal to promote kathak and introduce it to mass not just like an ancient art form, but as a living art form which has traveled ages, generations, societies & mindsets. A form of kathak, which is in pace with the modern mindset.

In late 2010 Kala Saadhna expanded into a center of various Indian art forms and a centre of promoting the plethora of Indian culture.
