Dhara is a Kathak dancer with a decade of experience, beginning her journey in Bhavnagar under the guidance of Smt. Charuben Jani. She pursued Visharad in Jaipur Gharana under her guidance and has been training at Padma Bhushan Mrs. Kumudini Lakhia's Kadamb Centre for Dance for the past five years. She has also recently completed her master's degree under the guidance of Shri Rohit Parihar, deepening her understanding of the art form. In this edition of Abhivyakti City Arts Project, Dhara presents ‘The Story of Sun and Moon’, a Kathak production that tells the tale of the sun and the moon, who fall in love despite their differences. Through Kathak, the production captures their love story throughout different phases of the moon—from Poornima to Amavasya. Even as the sun's shadow gradually diminishes, the moon continues to shine, symbolising resilience and enduring love in the face of challenges.
