distinguished dancer – scholars
of India. The President of India

she has ceaselessly strived to
rejuvenate the classical dance

Trained initially from a very
young age in another Kerala art
Kathakali under the late guru
‘Panchali’ Karunakara Pannikar,
who is regarded as one of the
greats for “stree-vesham” in
kathakali, kanak has won high
acclaim for her rendition of
kathakali as well. |

Today kanak is equally
recognized for her pioneering
work in two fields – that of
re-establishing the exquisitely
lyrical dance Mohini Attam and
for introducing new and richer
dimensions to the field of
