I am pleased to provide this reference for Mrs. Bhakti Devi, who recently performed at our centenary celebration event in Vienna. Her dance performance was a highlight of the evening, captivating our international audience with a graceful and powerful portrayal of Indian cultural heritage.
Mrs. Bhakti Devi demonstrated not only exceptional skill and artistry but also a deep understanding of the cultural nuances of her craft. Her ability to engage and connect with the audience was truly remarkable, and she brought a unique and authentic representation of Indian classical dance to the stage.
I have no doubt that Mrs. Bhakti Devi will continue to excel in her endeavours to present Indian cultural heritage in Western countries. Her dedication, professionalism, and passion for her art form make her an asset to any event or performance.
We wish her a long and fulfilling career.
Warm Regards
