Braghais a consummate artist. She has been a student of Adyar K Lakshman and Kalanidhi Narayanan and is renowned for her abhinaya ( expressive dance ). She is the quintessential traditional Bharatha Natyam dancer, totally immersed in the art of learning and in the emotional aspects of the music she portrays.  She has often played the lead roles in her teachers' dance productions and also teaches at in her guru's Institute.  She has many performances to her credit in India and abroad.  She has participated in dance festivals in Chennai  and  has performed extensively in India, the United Sates, Canada  and throughout Europe.  She  has also conducted  many workshops and lecture demonstrations.

The Hindu.......An Experience of a Lifetime.........Leela Venkataraman   writes......

Away from the spotlight Bragha leads a quiet life. Yet when she takes the stage she dazzles with her superb abhinaya, intensity and brilliant portrayal, all of which make her Bharatanatyam a jewel to be treasured.

For the Delhi dance lovers, the name of Bragha rang no bell. Quite unlike the usual contemporary dancers jostling for notice of VIPs, for awards and for economic benefits, Bragha leads a quiet life in Chennai, away from the glare of fame.  Humble to a fault, this dancer attributes all her proficiency to her two gurus, Kunchitapadam in her initial years and, now more recently, Adyar K Lakshman.  If any proof were needed that the Devi of dance in all her burnished glory and fullness prefers that patra or vessel which has no ego, then Bragha is the standing example.

Delhilites owe to Kalangan, founded by teacher dancer, Jamuna Krishnan a hearty vote of thanks, for providing them the rare opportunity of watching Bragha.  What emerged during the evening at India International Centre was an art experience, which for the lucky and wise ones who availed the invitation, will be cherished for a lifetime.
