Navaratna Arts was established in March 2011 to impart knowledge of traditional Indian art forms (Natya Yoga). Navaratna Arts provides ongoing classes, selective performance opportunities and various workshops for students to gain a holistic understanding of Indian art forms and related disciplines.

Natya Yoga is part of the Hindu Vedic way of life and was always closely related to temple worship. Therefore, classes take place within the Sivathondan Nilayam temple (photos below). Navaratna Arts is at the forefront of reviving the ancient mode of knowledge transmission of sacred temple dance.
