Guru Samarpana

Presented by Third Eye Dancers under the artistic direction of Smt. Subathra Sudarshan, Guru Samarpana was a large-scale dance production and fundraiser benefiting the Tamil Nadu Kidney Research Foundation (TANKER Foundation). The event brought together accomplished Bharatanatyam, Kathak, and Kuchipudi artists from across the United States in a celebration of artistic excellence and service.

​

Inspired by the sacred guru-shishya tradition, the production paid tribute to the teachers whose guidance shapes generations of dancers and musicians. Audiences experienced a diverse repertoire of classical Indian dance forms, each performance reflecting gratitude, devotion, and respect for one's guru. Beyond its artistic significance, Guru Samarpana united artists and audiences in support of kidney disease research, treatment, and patient care, demonstrating the power of the arts to create meaningful social impact.
