Radhika Ajayan is an accomplished Indian classical dancer specializing in Kathakali. She began her training in Kathakali at the age of six under the tutelage of R.L.V. Damodara Pisharodi. Her debut performance took place in Tripunithura when she was nine years old. In the same year, 1975, she joined the Tripunithura Vanitha Kathakali Sangham, Kerala's pioneering all-women Kathakali troupe. As a dedicated member of this troupe, Radhika Ajayan has performed on over 800 stages across Kerala and in other major Indian cities such as Mumbai, Chennai, Bangalore, Hyderabad, Himachal Pradesh, and Pondicherry. She is proficient in portraying nearly all Kathakali characters, including pacha, kathi, thadi, minukku, and sthreevesha. Her performances have also been featured in television programs. The Tripunithura Vanitha Kathakali Sangham, with which she has performed extensively, has staged more than 2,000 shows and was honored with the Nari Shakti Puraskar in 2017.
