Khajuraho Dance Festival in India
Head into the heart of India for a rare cultural treat that delights the senses and leaves you craving for more: what the Khajuraho Festival has to offer lovers of Indian classical dance, music and history - more than just a good time, less than a piece of divinity, but always an emotive collection of best dance ballads.
The most primeval instincts may have artistically been delineated in stone and captured imaginatively in the silent sculptures of Khajuraho's many beautiful temples and monuments from hundreds of years ago that still draw visitors from all corners of the globe, but their beauty is best expressed when the tales of love and sensuality are depicted in dance. Situated in Madhya Pradesh, the ancient city of the great Chadela kings, Khajuraho plays host to the Khajuraho Festival every year and is the reason for global and native tourists flocking to Central India for this annual cultural treat.
Top Indian classical dance performers and expert musicians from all parts of India gather together for the Khajuraho Festival and combine efforts to bring to the audience the wonder, grace and joy of ancient muses contained in the art of temple architecture that is attributed to the Hindu pantheon of Gods, which do not fail to evoke delight many centuries later, even today. The city's famed and innumerable, erotic, romantic and royal depictions on carvings and statues are responsible for making this quiet hollow a cultural retreat worth visiting for the munificence in temple architecture, the backdrop of the Khajuraho temples and the dusk enveloped ambience at the Khajuraho Festival of Dances are elements not found anywhere in India.
Easily drawing the cream of Indian classical performers in solo and group dance recitals, the milieu of the floodlit temples in the backdrop to the near-divine silhouettes flitting across the stage give the danseuse and the troupe all the natural make-up they need to touch hearts of the awe-struck audience. An international status given to the Khajuraho Festival of Dances makes this government of India annual program a veritable socio-cultural treat for lovers of Kathak, Bharatnatyam, Kuchipudi, Odissi and Manipuri attending the concert in Februay-March. Are you in the groove yet?
