Yamini Krishnamurthy obituary: The Bharatanatyam dancer who strived hard to take the dance form to the global stage
Renowned classical dancer and choreographer Yamini Krishnamurthy passed away on August 3 after a prolonged illness. She was 83.
Her mortal remains will be kept at the Yamini School of Dance in Hauz Khas in Delhi on August 4 for her students and admirers to pay their last respects.
Ms. Krishnamurthy is credited with popularising Bharatanatyam in North India, as early as in the 1960s, when she chose Delhi as her home. Not content with this, she strived hard to take the dance form to the global stage, and like sitar maestro Pt. Ravi Shankar became a sought after name internationally.
Known for her vibrant approach, Ms. Krishnamurthy’s dance sparkled with energy.
