Khajuraho Festival of Dances - Dr. Sunil Kothari
Now in its 39th year, Khajuraho Festival of dances has added several
features along with the festival. When one approached the festival venue
located on the Western complex of Chandella temples, one entered into
an area which covered several arts. Right from the delicious variety of
food of Madhya Pradesh, one moved on to see the looms, weavers weaving
amazing patterns on saris, block prints, then a potter, who carved out
beautiful shapes of earthen wares. A store next to it had publications
on art. From there on one entered the Art Mart, a welcome addition for
tourists to buy paintings. Adjacent to it was an exhibition of paintings
by artists from Madhya Pradesh, arranged in an eye catching manner.

Excellent review, analysis and suggestions. As they say Two is good company and three is a crowd.
ReplyDeleteI feel the earlier format of restricting the performances to two a day would be better.
By the way what happened to the folk dance festival that used to happen simultaneously and in fact attract more crowds?
