Konark Dance & Music Festival in a sense, it can be called the harbinger of the contemporary festivals of Orissa. The sole aim behind this festival is to bring in many artists into its cultural family and creating international cultural amity and brotherhood. This festival has established its own unique identity in the sense that eminent artistes of national and international repute participate and perform Odissi, Kathak, Bharatnatyam, Kuchipudi, Manipuri, Mohiniattam, and other classical, folk & tribal dances/music of our country on the enchanting stage of the Natyashala in the monumental Sun Temple, Konark. The stage and the atmosphere is magnified by the spiritual and aesthetic flavor, in the natural ambiance of casuarinas and cashew trees.
I got a chance to visit this festival this year.
So some photos of the event.
