Konark Festival 09

Konark Dance & Music Festival started in the year 1986 at Konark Natya Mandap, Arka Vihar, Konark by its Founder-Director Padmashree Guru Gangadhar Pradhan. In true sense it can be called the harbinger in the contemporary festivals of Orissa. The sole aim behind this festival is to embrace many artistes into its cultural family which aims at the international cultural amity and brotherhood.

This festival has established its own identity in the sense that eminent artistes of national and international repute participate and perform Odissi, Kathak, Bharatnatyam, Kuchipudi, Manipuri, Mohiniattam and other classical, folk & tribal dances of our country on an enchanting stage conjuring visions of the Natya Shala of the monumental Sun Temple, Konark, coming alive. The stage as well as the atmosphere are further magnified by the natural ambience of casuarina and cashew trees with spiritual and aesthetic flavour. This festival helds from 19th to 23rd February every year.
