True to the aspirations of the founder Smt. Rukmini Devi, Kalakshetra was founded “in order that India may once again revive and develop its ancient culture and set a standard of true Art in its new life after freedom”. The syllabus is designed to educate students to enjoy, explore and interpret the treasure trove of our heritage. They come to learn about its evolution as an amalgam of techniques nurtured by different dynasties and eras. They also get to understand the aesthetics of traditional and contemporary arts.
