Kalamandalam
Radhika is
one of the finest exponents of Mohiniattam.
From the age of three, she trained in Mohiniattam,
Kathakali, and Bharata Natyam, with the leading gurus in those dance forms. With
national and international performances and tours to her credit, since 1988 she
has been actively involved in propagating and promoting Mohiniattam al over the India. She strongly feels language should
not be a barrier to achieve her goal of popularising this ancient art form
across the country. Kalamandalam Radhika is also an astute scholar. Through
painstaking research, she has contributed much to Mohiniattam, including the revival of the costumes and jewellery of Mohiniattam
last seen in the 1940s.
