Mission
Rimli, through Surati, is also actively involved in promoting talented Indian artists. She seeks to educate people about Indian culture and propagate amongst Indian youth living in the USA, an awareness of their own cultural heritage. Rimli also aspires to educate people about Indian dance forms that are not native to their state. For this, Rimli wants to popularize the lesser-known Manipuri, Kuchipudi, Mohiniattam and Odissi forms of Indian Classical dance - which though less publicized in comparison to Bharatnatyam or Kathak, are extremely rich and graceful dance forms. |
