The 11-day Swaralaya Soorya dance and music festival here concluded on Sunday night with an Odissi performance by Bengaluru-based Nrityantar Dance Ensemble.
Palakkad’s art aficionados who gathered at the Rapadi open air auditorium to bid farewell to the town’s favourite festival and to the year 2023 were treated to an evening of sheer artistry by danseuse Madhulita Mohapatra and troupe.
The Nrityantar ensemble began with an invocation to Jagannath of Puri, the primary deity of Odissi dance. Ms. Mohapatra’s latest choreography Colours of Krishna soon unfolded at Rapadi, leaving the crowd spellbound for about an hour.
