“A magical mix of tradition, styles. Moving tales from Navarasa.” - Karen Campbell. Boston Globe , Sep, 2010.
“A performance deeply, almost in-your-face Indian, but impressively international in its appeal and quality…. The level of individual skill was high, and the combination created an experience that stunned the audience with its complexity and beauty.” - Times of India

“Sindhoor’s choreography … grounds her work in the form's basic vocabulary and style – But she also embraces Indian martial arts, yoga moves, theatrical gesture, and a modern dancer's eye for space to create dances that seem both old and new. Fanciful folk tales and tantalizing aerial feats.” - Karen Campbell. Boston Globe
"Possessed of a haunting singing voice in addition to her other talents, Sindhoor is truly a wonder. The duets between Sindhoor and Anil Natyaveda are riveting." - Montreal Mirror
