ART AND CULTURE - March 2019

Mar 2019

Mar 13, 2019

Gurugram Kala Utsav

  •  Gurugram Kala Utsav was started in 2017 to celebrate the Indian classical art forms. In its third year now, the annual festival is a cultural amalgam of classical Indian dance forms, such as kathak, bharatnatyam, kuchipudi and odissi, folk music, and Hindustani vocal and instrumental renditions.
  • Incidentally the festival falls on the same weekend as the popular Gurgaon Utsav, a festival that brings Sufi and fusion music, poetry and dramatic performances to city audiences.
  • The festival will take place at the Aravalli Biodiversity Park.
  • The two-day fest is being organised by an Odissi dance academy, and a not-for-profit organisation and supported by the Municipal Corporation of Gurugram.

Thakurani Jatra Festival

  •  Preparations for the famous biennial Thakurani Jatra festival in Odisha's Berhampur began with the hoisting of the holy mast or 'shubha khunti'.
  • According to Desibehera P. Durgaprasad, the traditional head of this festival, the celebrations will start from March 29 and continue for 32 days.
  • Goddess Budhi Thakurani is the traditional deity of silk handloom weavers or the Dera community of Berhampur.
  • On the night of March 29, an earthen pot representing the deity would be carried in a procession from the permanent temple to her temporary abode at Desibehera Street.
