Nrityagram has gained international acclaim as the first modern and exclusive Gurukul (residential school) for Indian Classical Dances. Following the ancient guru-shishya ( teacher-student) tradition, students look after and care for their Guru (teacher) by growing fruit and vegetables on the land, cooking, cleaning and performing dance recitals. At Nrityagram, the institution fulfills the role of the Guru - as protector.
Along with the intensive dance training, the students learn Indian Literature, mythology, poetry, Sanskrit, music, aesthetics and other subjects. Regular workshops are conducted. Since 1996, Nrityagram dance troupes have given performances across the globe.

Nrityagram, with its enchanting atmosphere and traditional aesthetic, is a distinctive dance community situated roughly 20 miles from Bangalore. This community was envisioned by Protima Gauri Bedi, a distinguished Indian dance artist. Her vision was to create a settlement dedicated to the instruction of dance. In the timeless ‘gurukul’ system, disciples and mentors reside together here. Nrityagram’s dance troupes are not only well-regarded but also the charm of the community and its integration with the natural environment make a trip to Nrityagram an unforgettable encounter. The architectural design of the village was the brainchild of Gerard Da Cunha, an acclaimed Indian architect. The expansive outdoors, verdure, and earthen buildings contribute to Nrityagram’s pastoral ambiance.
