About us: Nrityanjali
is an institute of music, dance, dramatics, personality development
& management services. It is a centre of learning. It
is also a centre of understanding , thought and action. Nrityanjali's
approach is simple and its medium is music , dance and dramatics.
Music, dance and dramatics have
a universal appeal and it is through these performing art
forms that Nrityanjali is striving to reach its goal of social
service.
Formed on July 19th 1963 by Dr. Tushar Guha (also the director),
with the twin objective of imparting discipline and promoting
our great cultural heritage among the youth, we have progressed
over the years, culminating in the present day Nrityanjali,
extending our activities to include personality development
and management services as well.
The emblem of Nrityanjali is the peacock. The peacock symbolises
the finer elements of life-beauty, grace , rhythm and vibrance
- which add colour to life. The outstretched leg of the peacock
denotes our progressive outlook even to the unconventional.
The missing "ghungroo" leaves us open to thought
in its various forms.

training, Indian dance, music and drama . It also presents
