Kalaa Rasika: Celebrating Cultural Heritage Through Dance
Welcome to Kalaa Rasika, a passionate cultural organization dedicated to preserving and promoting the rich tapestry of Indian classical dance and cultural heritage. Nestled in the vibrant cultural hub of Colombo, we are committed to reviving and celebrating the timeless traditions of dance that connect generations and transcend geographical boundaries.
Our Passion
At Kalaa Rasika, we believe that dance is more than just movement—it’s a living, breathing narrative of our collective cultural history. Our mission is to awaken a profound appreciation for the intricate elegance of Indian classical dance styles, connecting audiences with the deep spiritual and artistic roots of our traditions.
Tall, lofty mountains, lush green valleys and a starlit sky are the silent keepers of this ashram.
The ashram is involved in a number of social causes for the local villagers, most of whom remain below the poverty line.
You can get involved by donating to any of our programs. We would like to thank you for your contribution.
