Senior Disciple of the Kathak Maestro Pt. Birju Maharaj has always been a guiding spirit behind the endeavor of Kala-Chhaya. The Hard work put in by Smt Prabha Marathe and Shri Munnalal Shukla in the initial years was amply rewarded.
Today there are several disciples who are outstanding performers as well as well versed instructors.
The courses have also provided the base for scholarly pursuits. This faculty proved to be an added attraction for all the students.
