Dance enthusiasts will have the opportunity to explore Kathak in Shimla as the three-day Gaiety Kathak Utsav is set to start on Friday at the historic Gaiety Theatre.

The Utsav will feature a series of five sessions, held across three consecutive days, including interactive and demonstrative workshops on the first two days, followed by a performance based on the Ramayana on the third day.

These sessions would be conducted by Guru Mangala Bhatt and Guru Raghav Raj Bhatt, along with their troupe members — Divya Pathak, Preeti Krishnan, Shivani Sabharwal — and the accompanying musicians.
