It is a unique concept presenting the premier of choreographies by Gurus Sharon Lowen, Madhavi Mudgal and the performer of the evening, Madhur Gupta, framed by classics by the major architect of Odissi, Padmavibhusan Kelucharan Mohapatra.

KUN- FAYA- KUN

A painting exhibition on nature by the renowned landscape artist Ghazali Moinuddin. His work does not only serve solely as a means of expressing the painter’s admiration of nature but he also feels strongly that painting has a task of its own to accomplish in the service of imaginative life. The artist has developed a style which is in keeping with the thirst of mankind’s inner needs. Here there is a greater and starker simplicity, which is expressive, natural seeming, and free from ornamental impedimenta of any kind.
