The Cultural Programme on Day 1 of NFSI 2019 had two exotic performances, each unique and exuberant in their own ways. The first was a Lecture-Demonstration on Kathak by Shri Rajib Ghosh. He took the audience on a journey through time, as he began from the history of the dance form and continued on to a graceful and flavourful performance which was a perfect blend of tala, laya and sruti. As he explained and demonstrated in detail the main stances, steps, movements, narratives and exposition styles in Kathak, the audience was held spellbound and enraptured. The auditorium swayed to the energetic beats and rhythms of the Jaipur gharana of Kathak.
At the other end of the spectrum was a Kalaripayattu demonstration by the students and staff of CVV. It was a performance filled with rigour, action and skill, as the exponents demonstrated the primary positions and moves of this ancient martial art form. The highlight of the Kalaripayattu performance was the demonstration of Urumi Veesal by Shri Kiran.
The audience gave a standing ovation for both performances. There couldn’t have been a better way to end the day.
