A school that began with one guru's devotion
Guru Shashilata Guptaa founded the Vidyalaya in 1983. She trained under three respected teachers, Srimati Madhurita Sarang, Pandit Gopi Krishna and Pandit Lehri Maharaj, and has spent her life passing that knowledge on to the next generation.
Many of her students have gone on to teach and perform themselves. The classroom remains small, personal and patient.
