SADHANA
ARTS ACADEMY
HOW & WHY WE CAME TOGETHER
Sadhana is a journey that came full circle. What started as a childhood friendship between Radhika Samson and Ramanan Venkatraman evolved into a lifelong mission. After years of individual pursuit in the world of performing arts, they met again to find their artistic philosophies in perfect harmony.
Driven by this alignment of thought and the desire to preserve the magnificence of their traditions, they sought the blessings of their Guruji to lay the foundation of Sadhana Arts Academy. Under his mentorship, they transformed a shared passion into a global institution dedicated to the pursuit of artistic excellence.
