Dhakshakanyaa Ananthraj has been competing for 4 years. Her best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 1.39, set at VIT Cube Open 2024, puts her in the top 1.7% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 121st in India. Until November 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 15 competitions since March 2022, she has put 438 official solves on the record across five events.

Her 3×3 best has come down from 10.84 in March 2022 to 7.51, a 31% improvement. Dhakshakanyaa has entered 15 competitions, more competitions than 95% of everyone who has ever competed.

Reading this page: a single is one solve's time · an average is the middle three of five solves, best and worst discarded · a PB is a personal best · a DNF (did not finish) is an attempt with no valid result: a popped piece, an unsolved face, an over-limit memorisation · top X% compares against everyone ever ranked in that event, which is fairer than raw rank because event pools differ tenfold.
