New Delhi: India is renowned for having a vibrant cultural heritage. Every state in India has its own distinctive style and means of presenting its art form, whether it be art, music, dance, or theatre. The ancient art of Indian classical dance is being practised even today by devotees in several regions of the nation. Among them are Padma Bhushan Awardees Raja and Radha Reddy who are maestros of Kuchipudi Dance and they have been successfully spreading the culture and art form through their 'Parampara Series'.

Speaking of Raja and Radha Reddy, they are renowned Kuchipudi dancers, who have been performing and teaching Kuchipudi classical dance for over 50 years till date and are solely responsible for bringing out Kuchipudi onto the cultural map of the world. Their entire family is dedicated to the propagation of the Kuchipudi Classical Dance of India. 

In continuation of their efforts, apart from performing themselves, and bearing in mind the necessity of passing on Kuchipudi classical dance form to their younger generations, they have set up a dance institute named 'Natya Tarangini Performing Arts Centre' which strives to spread the rich cultural values in India and abroad. 

Over the years, the institution has been successfully spreading quality arts among its audience through the annually organized National Festival of Dance and Music titled ‘Parampara Series’ for the past 26 years and Anniversary Celebration (World Dance Day) on 29th April every year.
