“Kiran – A Ray of Hope” Recital by Nrityangan Cultural Academy

Thank you to Nrityangan Cultural Academy and Rituparna Mukherjee for a truly spectacular show.

It was magnificent, humbling, and deeply heart-stirring…a Bollywood dance extravaganza brought to life with dazzling performances, stunning costumes, and soulful music.

This event was made even more special as we celebrated 25 years of Kiran’s impactful journey…a milestone that reflects decades of service, resilience, and community empowerment.

This event would not have been possible without the unwavering support of our taskforce members and volunteers. Heartfelt thanks to Meghana Kulkarni, Sonia Bhave, Rekha Srini, Komal Parikh, Ravina Kashyap, Ambika Shyamala, and Priya Pavalluri for your dedication and hard work.

Special thanks to Vishesh Gandhi for generously sharing his exceptional photography skills in support of nonprofit organizations, and to Partho Sengupta and Souvik Chatterjee for their help with photography.

Our sincere appreciation to the Stanly County Agri-Civic Center staff for their tremendous support throughout the event.

Finally, a big thank you to the Charlotte community for showing up, supporting the event, and standing behind Nrityangan, Kiran, and their inspiring vision and mission. Your presence and encouragement mean the world—and beautifully honor 25 years of Kiran’s existence and continued impact.
