The Woman Who Dreamed Beyond the Ordinary

Behind every great dream stands a dreamer- and for Ashtabhuja Nrutyalaya, that dreamer is Mrs. Ujwala Gudhekar.

A dedicated LIC employee by profession yet an artist at heart, she carries with her an unshakable vision to see divine expressed through the language of dance.

Amidst her everyday responsibilities, she nurtured a dream that went far beyond herself, a dream where mythological stories would rise again, not from scriptures but from rhythm of dance and the grace of movement. It was she who firs envisioned a stage where gods and goddesses could be invoked through devotion and artistry.

Her faith and foresight became the foundation upon which Ashtabhuja Nrutyalaya was built.

What began as a mother's wish soon became a living, breathing reality through her daughter, Rachita turning Ujwala Gudhekar's divine imagination into an eternal legacy of rhythm, reverence and art.

The Soul That Sparkled a Legacy. Ashtabhuja Nrutyalaya humbly thanks you, Mrs. Ujwala Gudhekar for being our greatest inspiration and our strongest support system.
