Jayanagar has long been celebrated as the cultural heartbeat of South Bangalore. Tree-lined avenues, historic temples, and respected music sabhas make it the ideal neighborhood for classical arts education.
Located at South End Cross, Kailasa Kaladhara (KKD East End) stands as a landmark institution dedicated to preserving authentic Indian performing arts for over two decades.
What Makes KKD Jayanagar Unique?
KKD Jayanagar 9th Block East End offers rigorous, Guru-guided education in Bharatanatyam, Kathak, Carnatic Vocal, and traditional arts. Under the leadership of Guru Smt. Dr. K. Jayalakshmi Jithendra Bhagavat, our students receive comprehensive training spanning both practical stagecraft and theoretical Natyashastra scholarship.
Our Jayanagar branch has trained over 150 disciples, guiding dozens through successful solo Arangetrams and state certification exams.
The Cultural Environment of South Bangalore
Learning classical dance in Jayanagar surrounds students with Bangalore’s vibrant cultural heritage. Proximity to cultural venues in JP Nagar, Banashankari, and Basavanagudi allows our students to attend live concerts and understand art in its true context.
Our studio cultivates a respectful, family-like environment where discipline, humility, and artistic excellence thrive together.
