About Pooja Arts Academy
A teaching tradition built on the guru–shishya parampara, with stage experience at temples and cultural venues across the country.
A Living Guru–Shishya Parampara
In the guru–shishya parampara, art is not collected like marks. It is handed down, from teacher to student, through years of patient practice, correction and devotion. Pooja Arts Academy, founded in 2022 in Tirupati, carries that tradition into every discipline it teaches.
Shraddha: Devotion
Respect for the art form, the guru and the stage. Every class begins with the right attitude.
Abhyasa: Practice
Small, steady, corrected repetition. The guru watches closely and the student returns to the basics again and again.
Prastuti: Presentation
Learning is completed on stage, in temples, at recitals and in examinations, in front of people who matter.
