FIRST RASHTRIYA SANSKRITI MAHOTSAV ENDS ON A HIGH NOTE
~
The duo have won many awards including the Sangeet Natak Akademi Award in 1991 and Puranchand Wadali was awarded the award by the 2005. It was only fitting that the extravaganza, which celebrated the very best of Indian cultural traditions, ended with a tribute to divine love, and a unifying message of one god.
This was followed by gala folk performances by the 7 Zonal Cultural Centres which highlighted folk dance forms such as Purulia Chhau, Barsana ki Holi, Bhapang Vadam, Sirmour Nati, Bardoi Shilkla, Mayur Nritya, and Bhangra, as the evening drew to an enthralling end.
Shri NK Sinha, Secretary, Ministry of Culture, Govt of India gave a warm vote of thanks.
With this the Rashtriya Sanskriti Mahotsav drew to a conclusion. Over 8 days, the festival showcased 150 art forms, performances by more than 1500 artists; 32 forms of paintings: visual arts; 400 master craftsmen; and delectable cuisine by traditional master chefs.
The festival created a delightful peek into the myriad dimensions of our cultural traditions reviving pride in being an Indian. The Rashtriya Sanskriti Mahotsav is definitely going to be an affair to remember and one that the nation will look forward to every year.
