Mārgam Centre for Arts will bring together more than sixty dancers for Ananya 2025, its annual celebration of Bharatanatyam, on Saturday, 15 November at Girraween High School.
Founded and led by Bharatanatyam dancer and teacher Shruthy Ramamurthi, Mārgam Centre for Arts has built a name in Sydney for promoting classical Indian art through education and performance. The school’s teaching follows a traditional, holistic method that focuses on technical detail and repertoire.
The 2025 edition of Ananya will begin at 5:30 pm with performances by junior dancers, before the much-anticipated thematic presentation, Vaahana Nrithya Vandana, takes centre stage at 7:15 pm. The evening will conclude around 8:45 pm with a grand Mangalam, featuring all sixty performers in unison.
Ramamurthi described the festival as a celebration of rhythm, devotion, and artistry. “We are presenting our annual dance festival, Ananya 2025, on Saturday, 15th November 2025, at Girraween High School. The event will feature over 60 dancers performing traditional and thematic pieces, culminating in Vaahana Nrithya Vandana—a vibrant showcase celebrating rhythm, devotion, and artistry,” she said.
Ramamurthi’s connection to Bharatanatyam began at the age of four. Now a seasoned artist and yoga practitioner, she continues to teach and perform in Sydney, nurturing a new generation of dancers through Mārgam Centre for Arts.

Support Independent Community Journalism
Dear Reader,The Indian Sun exists for one reason: to tell stories that might otherwise go unheard.
We report on local councils, state politics, small businesses and cultural festivals. We focus on the Indian diaspora and the wider multicultural community with care, balance and accountability. We publish in print and online, send regular newsletters and produce video content. We also run media training programs to help community organisations share their own stories.
We operate independently.
