Sharmila Mukerjee is the founder and artistic director of Sanjali Centre for Odissi Dance in Bengaluru, which was established in 2004. She was initiated into the Uday Shankar style of dance and went on to study Odissi under the tutelage of Kelucharan Mohapatra. She has worked closely with hearing-impaired children, having taught dance and movement therapy at The Oral School for Deaf Children in Kolkata. After moving to Bengaluru, she taught dance at the Sheila Kothwala Institute for the Deaf. In 2000, she won a scholarship to the University of Michigan, where she trained in dance movement and composition. A Grade 'A' artiste of Doordarshan and an empanelled artiste of the ICCR, Mukerjee has performed at prestigious festivals and conferences in India and abroad, and has received awards including the Mahari Award from the Guru Pankaj Charan Das Foundation (Odisha), Sangeet Mani from the Sur Singar Samsad, Mumbai, Kala Gaurav from Karnataka, and Sironama from Kolkata.



Nature moves in seasons, and with every changing season, the human heart undergoes a change too. Inspired by Kalidasa's Ritusamhara, Ritubhava explores the intimate bond between ritu — the cycle of seasons — and bhava — the emotions they awaken within us. Spring blossoms into love and joy, summer burns with longing, the monsoon trembles with hope and separation, while winter turns the mind inward in contemplation. Ritubhava is thus a journey where, through the language of classical dance, season becomes feeling, feeling becomes movement, and movement becomes rasa.



Urmila Sathyanarayanan has trained in Bharatanatyam at Sri Saraswathy Gana Nilayam in Chennai, completed her arangetram under K. N. Dandayuthapani Pillai, and was later groomed by K. J. Sarasa. She has performed at prestigious national and international venues and is a recipient of the Kalaimamani award from the state of Tamil Nadu and the Central Sangeet Natak Akademi award. She serves on the governing body of the South Zone Cultural Centre. She is the founder of Natya Sankalpaa, Chennai, a Grade 'A' artiste of Doordarshan, and empanelled in the 'outstanding' category by the ICCR, New Delhi.
