Bhatkhande meet honours 3 alumni

Lucknow: In a celebration of artistic excellence, Bhatkhande Sanskriti Vishwavidyalaya hosted its first alumni meet on Monday, marking the launch of the 'Bhatkhande Alumni Association' with a programme titled 'Guru Samman Samaroh' at the Rai Umanath Bali auditorium. The institution paid tribute to three distinguished former students— Kathak guru Purnima Pandey, Bharatanatyam guru Laxmi Srivastava, and sitar guru Abhinav Sinha — for their contributions to Indian classical arts. University's vice-chancellor Prof Mandavi Singh shared her vision behind establishing the alumni association. "Since assuming the role of VC at this illustrious institution, I had envisioned creating an alumni network. The university's influence is evident as I frequently encounter its former students and faculty members across the country," she said. The ceremony saw mesmerizing performances by university students who presented Saraswati Vandana and Guru Vandana. A soul-stirring flute recital by artist Raviraj Shankar and kathak performance by Meera Dixit were the key highlights.
