Virasat

VIRASAT is a festival, comprising lecture demonstrations, performances and workshops in folk and classical arts, literature, crafts, talks, walks, theatre, films, and yoga held in different educational institutions. It aims at a close interaction between students and artistes. The events are held in a baithak style (informal chamber concert atmosphere) to create the traditional relationship. Virasat is held all over the country in the first half of the academic year.

Flute

The bamboo flute is a simple yet soulful musical instrument that has been part of Indian culture for centuries. Made from natural bamboo, it carries the warmth of the earth and the breath of the player, turning silence into melody. Often associated with Lord Krishna, the flute is deeply connected to devotion, love, and peace. From village folk songs to classical music, its gentle sound expresses emotions that words cannot. Passed down through generations, the bamboo flute reflects harmony between nature and music, reminding us that even the simplest things can create the most beautiful feelings.

Kathak

Kathak is more than just a dance—it is a conversation between the dancer, the music, and the audience. Born in the heart of North India, this classical art form weaves together rhythm, graceful movements, and expressive storytelling. A Kathak event feels like a journey, where every turn, every gentle gesture, and every sound of the ghungroo carries emotion and meaning. The dancer doesn’t just perform steps; they share stories of devotion, joy, love, and life itself. Rooted in tradition yet full of warmth and energy, a Kathak performance creates a deep connection, reminding us how beautifully art can touch the heart without saying a single word.

Gond Art

Gond Art is a beautiful folk art tradition from Madhya Pradesh, created by the Gond tribal community as a way of telling stories and expressing their deep connection with nature. Through lively colors and delicate patterns, artists bring to life animals, trees, birds, and scenes from everyday village life, along with myths passed down by elders. Each line and dot is drawn with care, reflecting the artist’s emotions, beliefs, and respect for the natural world. What began as simple paintings on mud walls and floors has now found its place on paper and canvas, yet it still carries the warmth, spirit, and soul of the Gond people. This art form remains a living tradition, preserving memories, culture, and identity across generations.
