Daksha holds a Master’s degree in Archaeology, with a specialisation in ancient Indian art, architecture, iconography, epigraphy, and archaeological landscape studies. She has received practical training in archaeological excavation, prehistoric exploration, stone tool analysis, field documentation, and estampage techniques for recording inscriptions.

A trained Bharatanatyam dancer, Daksha is particularly interested in exploring the intersections between Indian temple art and classical dance through an interdisciplinary approach that integrates performance traditions, art history, textual studies, and archaeology. Her M.A. dissertation, The Representation of Dance in the Sculptures of the Khajuraho Temples, examined the relationship between sculptural representations and performance traditions in early medieval India.

Through her research and writing, she seeks to bridge academic scholarship and public engagement, making India’s rich historical and cultural heritage accessible to wider audiences.
