KanakaSabha site has its origins in a much humbler version as Siri Rama's home page at http://~home.ust.hk/~seshrama/sirirama.shtml. That site was launched in October 1996, those early magical days of the Worldwide Web, in what seems like centuries ago in web-time. As a physics and electronics major in college, Siri has always been fascinated with the possibilities of the beneficial collaboration between dance and technology. The web seemed to open new vistas in taking our mission of dance education to the entire world.It was exciting to get the first responses to our web-site in Hong Kong, from places as far flung as Australia, China, Japan, the Philippines, Singapore, Belgium, Greece, the Netherlands, Russia, the UK, Canada and the USA with an increasingly interesting set of queries and comments - from specific make-up and costume design queries for a Greek version of the Ramayana, and tips on dance practice from a struggling Bharata Natyam student-afficionado in Russia, to a desperate plea for help in finding a dance instructor in Birmingham in the UK, or Brisbane in Australia, or to a summer school in India where someone could further their training, the philosophical connections between Indian dance and the conception of nirvana, the meaning of Tandava, down to some very basic help with a sixth-grader's homework assignment.As the web has spread, and as have the number of sites of Indian classical dance, we thought it would be great to collect this information from across the web, and across the world of Indian classical dance to present together in a one-stop format, a sort of portal for Indian classical dance. This site is primarily targeted at the Indian classical dance afficionado across the world, but we hope we will also become a useful resource for dancers, choreographers, dance organizers, dance scholars and any one else interested in Indian classical dance. Our aim is to provide a space on the web, where any one interested in the preservation and promotion of Indian classical dance will find useful information, and also feels welcome to contribute in any way they can think of to keep this art form thriving.

Hariharan Nair, a widely acclaimed musician known to his fans as Hari, and the founder of Sariga Sangeetha Academy, is a living example of the spirit of Helen Keller, expounded in the above lines. He is a hero cast in the same mould.
Over thirty years ago the unexpected blow of destiny, all but killed this young and aspiring musician, a gifted harmonium player, to whom music was religion, and who dreamed big. He lost both his arms in a freak accident.
Thus ended the blossoming career of a brilliant artist; or so it appeared to everyone except Hari. At the age of 24 such a setback would have devastated any one but the heroic Hari.
