Her educational foundation includes: PhD from the University of Cambridge MPhil from Jawaharlal Nehru University, India MA from Jawaharlal Nehru University, India BA from Delhi University, India Kasturi's research centers on monasticism's political dimensions, with primary expertise in ascetic lineages, guru movements, and urban sacred spaces.

Her methodological rigor combines historical anthropology with colonial legal analysis to reveal continuities between pre-colonial practices and contemporary identity politics. Her publication trajectory demonstrates deepening engagement with monastic networks' political mobilization, evolving from Rajput lineage studies in colonial North India toward contemporary analyses of Hindutva's monastic foundations. Recent work increasingly focuses on Banaras as a contested urban space where Muslim pensioner communities reshape Hindu pilgrimage landscapes, reflecting her signature approach of using micro-histories to interrogate macro-political formations. Her scholarly recognition includes: SSHRC Standard Research Grant for "Gurus and the Making of Hindutva in Twentieth Century India" SSHRC Insight Grant (2015) for "The 'Lost' Mughal Pensioners of Banaras" Yale University's Agrarian Studies Fellowship Indian Institute of Advanced Study (Shimla) residency Nehru Memorial Museum research fellowship External funding from Canada's Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council has sustained her archival work across India while enabling mentorship of graduate researchers in historical methods.
