Serving the cause of great ethnic art forms in India

Prakash Kala Kendra is contributing substantially to the cause of preserving and popularising the ethnic identity of Indian folk art forms, as evident from the recently concluded Bharatotsavam held at Neeravil this April. It was a grand fiesta with 250 artistes from different parts of India performing traditional folk art forms unique to their places. In an era of cultural aggression that happens all around the world, this has heralded an entirely innovative venture of popularising traditional art forms with people's involvement.Best wishes to their inextinguishable spirit and enthusiastic mission
