Parshwanath Upadhye has studied for 15 years in the traditional Mysore style of Bharathanatyam under the guidance of Guru Shri Ravindra Sharma of Belgaum.

He also had the opportunity to explore Folk music and Dance in the festivals conducted by Bailhongal Janapada Sangha, Karnataka in 1994 -96.

Among the works presented at national and international venues are Hara,[8] Sat-gati,[9] Paartha, Punyah Krishna[10][11] and Abha.

"[15] -Ranee Kumar, The Hindu "Upadhye’s interpretation of a devotee’s adoration of Shiva, more specifically at the famous Chidambaram temple, was a sight to behold.

His high kicks, leaps and knee turns did not come at the cost of nuances such as beautifully articulated mudras or clarity of movement in his adavus (basic bharatanatyam dance steps).

"[14] - Rupa Srikanth, The Hindu "For a dancer with a keen sense of rhythm like Parshwanath Upadhye, there is almost no equal in the field.

He is the uncrowned prince of the Bharatanatyam scene today and his Facebook page has more followers than those of some minor Bollywood stars"[16] -Veejay Sai, culture critic "Parshwanath Upadhye was remarkable both for his striking combination of tandava energy with gentle lasya grace.

"[17] -Dr. Ketu H Katrak, Professor of Drama, University of California, Irvine "Parshwanath's choreography lacks dramatic arc.

Beautifully executed with interesting exits and entrances, the music is typically BENGALURU LITE - a soft-light music-wafting of Carnatic ragas.

More like theatre, he keeps spinning narratives which lack in-depth treatment, as seen in Baro Krishnaiyyaa and the other composition devoted to Goddess Chamudeswari, where the over spun Kalidasa episode became more like a digression.

The starting Hamsadhwani invocation from the Mysore Bharatanatyam repertoire and the Balamurali Krishna Gati Bhed Priya Tillana in Adi talam showed the dancer’s grasp over nritta.
