Kameshwari Dance and Music Festival

Sponsored by Bharti Airtel Limited, the Kameshwari Dance and Music festival was held in Maa Kamakhya Temple, Guwahati on 14th and 15th of January. With eminent classical dancers like Padma Vibhushan Sonal Man Singh, one of the lading exponents of Odissi dance, Padmashree Shovana Narayan, the undisputed ‘Kathak queen’ and Indira P.P. Bora, and vocalists like Padma Bhushan Pandits Rajan and Sajan Mishra, the foremost exponents of Benaras Vocal Gharana, the festival was a classical bonanza. With such ‘raag’s and rhythms reverberating throughout the courtyard of the decked-up Kamakhya Temple, the atmosphere was indeed divine as much as mesmerising. The fact that is encouraging is that in spite of the Magh Bihu season, the event drew a handsome audience.
