Chandigarh, November 17

Three-day national ‘Hemantotsav’, a bonanza of classical music and dances, concluded with a Kathak dance by Kavita Thakur and her disciples at Tagore Theatre here today.

The event was organised by the Pracheen Kala Kendra and witnessed tremendous footfall.

Dancers opened up with presentation-based ‘Sai Bhajan’. Thakur presented a solo Kathak item. She was supported by Abhishek Khichi, Mayukh Bhattacharyya and Sujata Gawade.

Earlier, the day witnessed a remarkable Sarod recital by Pt Joydeep Ghosh. He concluded his recital witha captivating ‘Dhun’ set to ‘Mishra Khamaj raga’.

He was accompanied by Pt Debashish Adhikary on tabla.

Kendra Registrar Shobha Koser and Secretary Sajal Koser honoured the artists. Dr Samira Koser gracefully conducted the stage.

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).
