She is currently pursuing her Masters in Bharatanatyam from the University of Madras.
She has been awarded Best Performer prize from Sri Parthasarathy Swamy Sabha, India, for her performance at their festival for the dance and music season ‘Bharat Nritya Utsav’.
Varisha is an integral part of Svanubhava, India. Svanubhava was conceptualised by Smt Bombay Jayashree and Shri T.M. Krishna with the intention of welcoming the students to the diverse, multicultural world of Indian art and introduce them to the underlying beauty of even the rarest forms.
