Vidushi Anurita Rai, disciple and daughter of Acharya Anupam Rai, became a milestone in the world of dance as a versatile Kathak exponent because of her historic world record of 10,000 dancing rounds at a stretch (2005). Limca Book of Records and Guinness Book have featured her name, while Artists Guild London has recently honoured her with the Millennium title.

She was born with a rare combination of a marvellous voice with a considerable command of classical, light classical, Bhajan, Gazal, Chaiti, Kajri and Geet styles of singing. Also entitled Saraswati Shiromani and Saraswati Putri, she has been privileged to perform in various cities in India and abroad.
