Celebrating Tradition Through Every Costume
For more than four decades, Narthaki Dance Costumes Pvt. Ltd. has been dedicated to celebrating the beauty, tradition and artistry of Indian dance.
Established in 1980 by Sri Devan Balan, Narthaki began with a passion for creating authentic dance costumes and accessories that allow every performer to step onto the stage with confidence, elegance and pride.
Today, Narthaki brings together tradition, craftsmanship and convenience through Narthaki.in, offering dancers, dance schools, teachers, parents and performing artists access to a wide collection of costumes, ornaments and performance accessories.
Our Heritage
Indian classical dance is more than a performance. It is a beautiful expression of culture, devotion, rhythm, storytelling and tradition.
At Narthaki, we understand that every detail contributes to the character of a performance — from the pleats of a Bharatanatyam costume and the elegance of a Mohiniyattam dress to the sparkle of traditional ornaments and the sound of Ghungroo.
Our journey has always been centred around one purpose:
To help dancers present the beauty of Indian tradition with grace and authenticity.
Costumes Made for the Stage
A dance costume must look beautiful, but it must also move beautifully.
Our collection includes costumes and accessories suitable for various Indian classical, folk and cultural performances, including:
Bharatanatyam • Kuchipudi • Mohiniyattam • Folk Dance • Classical & Cultural Performances

Tradition Meets Craftsmanship
Every dance form has its own identity, and every performer deserves a costume and accessories that respect that tradition.
We pay attention to colour combinations, traditional patterns, decorative detailing, stage visibility, comfort and finishing while selecting and creating our products.
For customised and made-to-order costumes, we work according to the measurements and requirements provided by the customer, helping create an outfit suited to the individual performer.
From Young Dancers to Professional Artists
Narthaki serves a diverse community of performers, including:
Dance Students • Professional Dancers • Dance Teachers • Dance Schools • Academies • Parents • Cultural Organisations • Schools & Colleges • Theatre & Stage Performers
Whether it is a child's first school performance, a dance competition, a temple programme, an Arangetram, a professional production or an international cultural event, we understand how important the occasion can be.
That understanding guides the care we bring to every order.
