What is "kalasadan"

KALÃSADAN, one of the pioneer cultural institutions in Mumbai, has been serving the cause of performing arts since the 1950s. Hundreds of students have had training in classical dance and music, especially Bharatanatyam and Carnatic music, under the guidance of its founder director Guru Shri Mani and have gone on to become performing artists and teachers all over India and abroad. Training centres conducted by Kalasadan have benefited various cross sections of the society and their efforts to preserve and propagate India's traditional performing arts in their divine and dignified form have been able to create an interest and awareness of the Indian culture in the present generation.
