National Gallery of Modern Art, Bengaluru has announced a Kuchipudi dance performance by Neha Srinivas on 14 August 2026. The museum’s notice frames the event as an evening of storytelling through “the body’s grammar of gesture and gaze,” placing the performance within the expressive tradition of the classical dance form.
The announcement identifies Guru Dr. Saraswathi Rajathesh as the guiding influence for the presentation. No further programme details were included in the source material, but the museum’s post makes clear that the performance is centered on Kuchipudi and on Srinivas as the featured artist.

The notice was published by the museum on 13 August 2026, ahead of the scheduled performance the following day. The event is listed for 14 August 2026 at NGMA Bengaluru in Bengaluru, India.
No additional information was provided about the duration, repertory or accompanying programme. The available source material limits the report to the announced performance by Neha Srinivas, under the guidance of Guru Dr. Saraswathi Rajathesh, on 14 August 2026 at NGMA Bengaluru.
