Founded in 2015 by renowned dancer and choreographer Jayshree Bala Rajamani, TriNethra – The Third Eye Festival of Dance seeks to promote and preserve the rich classical dance traditions of India. Its very name reflects its vision — to open the audience’s “third eye” to the beauty, depth, and spiritual resonance of Indian dance.

TriNethra creates an elegant, meaningful, and soulfully uplifting space where dancers and audiences connect in a truly transformative experience.  Artists are specially invited and compensated for their art, honoring their dedication and ensuring that their work is valued.  Over eight editions, more than fifty celebrated artists from across the USA and abroad have graced its stage.

The festival has presented some of the most respected names in classical Indian dance — including Rama Vaidyanathan, Roja Kannan, Vaibhav Arekar, and Dr. Kaberi Sen — as well as unique forms like Yakshagana, featured in a special 2018 presentation.  Audiences have experienced a diverse spectrum of dance traditions including Bharatanatyam, Kathak, Odissi, Manipuri, Mohiniyattam, Shilpa Natanam, and innovative collaborative works by both local and international performers.
