Kalidas Vilas

Venue: Happy Colony auditorium, Kothrud, Pune
6:30 PM.

This is a unique concert of dance and music on Sanskrit literature. It is based on the literary works of poet Kalidas. It has been conceptualized and conceived by composer and musicologist Shri. Chaitanya Kunte.

Aparna Kelkar and Mayur Mahajan will recite Kalidas' poetic verses. Madhura Godbole will enact their finer nuances. Famous danseuse Sandhya Dharma has choreographed pieces on 'Meghdutam' and 'Ritu-Samharam'.

The first day of Hindu month 'aashadh' is supposed to be when rain begins. It also has significance as it is celebrated in the name of mahakavi Kalidas. A perfect excuse to delight in poet's enriching work.
