Dear MKR:
Â
Many thanks for the interesting iem.
Â
If one may ask that was it the 1935 or 1936 Convention Rukmin Devi Arundale performed. My belief is 1935.It was the Diamond Jubilee Convention in 1935.
Â
Thanking you,
Yours fraternally,
Jayananda H. Hiranandani

Rukmini Devi Arundale started the revival of the Indian Dance - Bharatha
Natya when she performed at the Theosophical Convention at Adyar in 1936.
She established Kalakshetra Academy which is now a University and it is
celebrating 75th anniversary of the revival. To give you an idea of how
popular the dance is in the USA, all the major cities in the USA has dance
schools and most first generation immigrants from India, invariably send
their daughters to be trained in it. You can read about the celebration
scheduled in Mumbai.
