Siva, who was hailed as a child prodigy, first started performing when she was eight years old. Now a teen, Siva performed across India and USA and is also a percussionist. Trained by her father Swapan Siva, a tabla artist, this was Rimpa’s first performance in Amritsar. “It feels good as an artist to be performing in front of an appreciative audience and also artists,” said Siva as she addressed the audience before her performance.

Padma Shri awardee Ustad Puran Chand Wadali was among the audience. Earlier, Harsimran Singh, a young scholar of Indian classical music, opened the event.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
