Bhanusudha Natya Puraskaram is a prestigious national platform dedicated to celebrating the timeless elegance of Indian classical dance and honoring the finest talents in this sacred art form. Instituted in 2025, this annual award was envisioned to recognize excellence, dedication, and innovation in the field of classical dance, including Bharatanatyam, Kuchipudi, mohiniyattam and other revered traditions.

More than an award, it is a tribute to the rhythm, grace, and cultural legacy that these classical art forms carry — born from the harmony of laya (rhythm), bhava (expression), raga (melody), and natya (dramatic storytelling). Organized by Twenty Productions & Sune Sekhar Film Factory, the award serves as a beacon for both aspiring and accomplished dancers, providing a grand stage where tradition meets brilliance.

Through Bhanusudha Natya Puraskaram, we aim to:

• Honor exceptional artists in Bharatanatyam, Kuchipudi, Mohiniyattam and other classical dance forms from across India
• Encourage the preservation and growth of this timeless art form
• Inspire new generations to embrace classical dance with dedication and passion

The event also features Kerala’s most respected classical dance competition, where India’s finest talents come together to showcase their artistry, technique, and deep devotion to the tradition. Dancers from multiple classical streams bring their spiritual alignment and technical finesse to the stage, adding layers of depth and diversity.

At Bhanusudha Natya Puraskaram, we believe that every step tells a story, every movement carries history, and every performance adds a new chapter to the legacy of Indian classical dance.
