Historical Record

A Life Choreographed
in Devotion & Discipline.

Born on September 14, 1971, in Dharan, Sunsari, Nepal — Gobind Rai has spent over three decades sculpting movement into meaning. Today he commands cultural classes out of the Gobind Dance Center at 41-32 75ST, Elmhurst 11373, New York City, USA.

His cinematic direction footprint culminated in the award-winning Nepalese feature film "NAAGBELI" (2013), a landmark achievement in national cinema.

In 1997, he founded 'The Angel Kalakendra' in Kathmandu — an institution he directed through 2005, directly training and launching superstar screen icons Rekha Thapa, Richa Ghimere, Arunima Lamsal, and Nisha Adhikari.

Master choreographer behind legendary cinematic box office hits: Gurkha Paltan, Naina Resham, Mission Paisa, and Sayad.

Dance is Meditation and Medicine — a sacred rhythm that heals the spirit, stills the mind, and sets the soul free.
