Smt. Radhika Biju, daughter of Thrissur Thonnangamath Kizhakke Pisharath Sri Krishna Chandran and Chiranga Pisharath Smt. Santha Devi, is one of the leading exponents of Bharatanatyam today.

Her journey in Bharatanatyam began at the tender age of five under Guru Hemalata Prakash. She later trained under Guru Meera Vishwanath, completing her Junior Exam in Bharatanatyam at just 12 years of age. Gifted with a natural flair for dance, Radhika has built her reputation through unwavering dedication and hard work.

At the age of 14, she became a disciple of Guru Smt. Neela Jayaraman, under whose guidance she completed her Vidwath and Arangettam within a year. Over the past decade, through her Bangalore-based dance institute “Padamudra”, she has trained more than 600 students.

Radhika has performed extensively across India, including in Delhi, Bangalore, and Kerala. Her dance is distinguished by clarity of movement, graceful intricacies, eloquent expressions, and precise execution, evoking Rasa in its full splendour and essence.

Apart from her dance career, Radhika has also acted in two Malayalam films:

• Ezra – Watch here
• Marubhoomiyile Aana – Watch here

She is married to Sri Biju Pisharody (Mundayil Pisharam), Bangalore, and they have a son, Jayaram Biju.
