| Vasantahabba
- Celebration of Spring |
Vasantahabba
is the annual all-night festival of dance and music
organized by Nrityagram. Thirteen years after the
first Vasantahabba, it is now considered the ‘Woodstock’
of classical dance and music in India. Living legends
and leading artists congregate under one sky to
make Vasantahabba what it is – an unmissable
treat.
People start arriving by 2pm, for an event that
starts at 6pm. They come with families; they come
with their friends. They come from all over India.
They even come from abroad. The city dwellers come.
And so do the villagers. They know everything about
Indian culture; they know nothing about Indian culture.
Yet, they will not leave before 3 or even
7 the next morning!
The history of Vasantahabba is remarkable. From
an audience of 3,000 in 1990, there were over 35,000
in 2003. And millions witnessed the event LIVE on
Doordarshan, the public broadcasting station of
India. The festival has been covered on the web
and on networks from around the world. |
