'So in the Golden Hall Danced the Divine One with Celestial Exquisiteness'

- Gopalakrishna Bharati : Natanamaadinar

"A clean cut precision, deft and clearly delineated movements, and precise rhythms have come to be the hallmarks of Ketaki's performances. No small achievement for a young dancer whose dedication to her art have never been in question. Ketaki's years of training and close proximity to senior dancers of international fame have not been lost as she seems to have imbibed from them, almost like a process of osmosis, the grace and richness of this elegant dance form. Her relentless pursuit of excellence in her dance shows promise that she may, one day, aspire to heights of national acclaim."

The Statesman, New Delhi

" Performed by charming Ketaki Narain, the enchanting evening flung open many vistas of a highly chiseled form of dance."

The Tribune, Chandigarh

" …in both the varnam, excellently balanced between tightly etched jatis and fresh interpretative skills, above all in the padam, … Ketaki arrived on the high ground of the art of dance."

The Hindustan Times, New Delhi

" Ketaki dances with a certain dynamic vivacity which is pleasing to witness".

The Statesman, New Delhi

" Ketaki won tremendous applause of the audience with her graceful movements, perfect      sense of rhythm and her beauty as well".

Vientiane Times, Laos PDR

" Ketaki's dance recital was a neat and delightful one. Her adavus were perfect and rhythm tight and precise. No wonder her interpretation of Papanaasam Sivam's varnam came off sparklingly. As to the jatis, they had both wit and sparkle".
