Smitha Rajan, one of India's finest and internationally acclaimed Mohiniyattam performers is an accomplished dancer who is a strict traditionalist in her style. She is well known for the structural integrity and spiritual intensity she brings to the stage. Smitha is in this field for more than three decades and stands out by carrying the true essence and structure of this dance form that her grand mother (Late) Guru Kalamandalam Kalyanikuttiamma, had retrieved from the stage of extinction. Smitha's lineage naturally blessed her to pursue dancing at a very early stage of her life.
