Where stories
come alive

and tradition finds its stage.

Jagali Artspace draws its spirit from the timeless traditions of Indian theatre, music, and dance. Like the village jagali — the sacred gathering space where stories were shared, performances unfolded, and communities came together — our space celebrates the living heritage of performance. Founded in 2006, Jagali Artspace has trained over 20,000 students and brought the magic of classical performing arts to more than 30,000 audience members. As a holder of the Indian Book of Records, and having worked with institutions like RMS International School and Apollo NPS, we carry forward the Parampara with devotion, discipline, and creative fire.

Voices from the Sabha

"

My daughter has been training in Bharatanatyam here for two years and the transformation has been remarkable — not just in dance, but in her posture, confidence, and focus. The gurus here genuinely care about each student's growth.

S
Sunitha KrishnamurthyParent · Bengaluru
"

The Yakshagana workshop was an eye-opening experience. Sunil Raay's teaching is patient, meticulous, and deeply rooted in tradition. I came knowing nothing and left with a genuine respect for this magnificent art form.

As a principal, I am very selective about cultural partners. Jagali Artspace exceeded every expectation — on time, incredibly organized, and the children absolutely loved their Kathak workshop. We have booked them three years in a row.

The summer camp was the best decision we made for our son this vacation. He went in shy and came out glowing — performing on stage in front of 200 people at the closing show. The team here works magic with children.

What sets Jagali apart is the heart they bring to every interaction. From the first enquiry to the final bow on stage, you feel looked after. Their passion for preserving Indian classical traditions is truly infectious.

Jeevitha Ravi Gowda's teaching philosophy is rare — she combines classical rigour with genuine joy. My teenage daughter actually looks forward to practice every week. That says everything about the culture this institution has built.
