Mrs. Kuppa Padmaja hails from the family of performing artists. Her grandfather Kuppa
Krishna Murthy was a very well noted Theatre Artist noted of the role of ‘Aswathama’, which has
won him plenty of applauds. Having inherited, Kuppa Padmaja started performing dance at the age
of Five years and won the appreciation from the famous All India Radio Duo Radio Annayya, Akkayya.
The encouragement that was received on that day gave an inspiration to persue all the Dance
forms in deep. And Kuchipudi in particular.
The seeds which were put by Late Sri. Vempati Venkata Narayanagaru and his daughter
Vempati Natgeshwari garu, created interests to persue career in dance but not neglecting the
Academics.
Mrs. Kuppa Padmaja is working as Dance Lecturer in Government College of Music and Dance,
Warangal, Telangana since 1992. Where she has been teaching dance to a number of students.
