The honour is being conferred in recognition of her outstanding contribution to the preservation, promotion, and nurturing of Indian performing arts over the years. Through her dedication as a performer, teacher, and cultural ambassador, she has played a significant role in enriching the artistic landscape and inspiring generations.
