Vishakha Hari is a practitioner of the ancient beautiful form of art called 'Harikatha' or 'Katha Keerthan'.

She presents 'Harikathas' in Tamil and English (the narrative is in Tamil or English) and the songs are from various languages including Telugu, Kannada, Marathi, Hindi and Sanskrit. Her gurus are Lalgudi G Jayaraman, the great violin maestro for music, Krishnapremi Swamigal and R Hari for 'katha' (story component). She was initiated into music right from her childhood years as early as when she was five years old.

This was because of the passion of her parents who are lovers of Indian art and culture.

Blending beautifully both music and 'katha', she spreads valuable messages of love and peace throughout the world. She has been awarded several titles and has raised funds through her programmes for several social causes.
