The event was graced by esteemed dignitaries including SN Tripathi, Director General, Indian Institute of public Administration; Dr Sanjeev Patjoshi, DGP in Kerala; Rajeev Sharma, Executive Director, HUDCO; Shah Faesal, Deputy Secretary, Ministry of Culture; and Dr Akshaya Kumar Sen, General Manager, HUDCO.
The festival commenced with an invocation, Manglacharan-Ravan Krit Shiva Tandav, by Guru Dr Binayak Panda, founder of Debadhara, along with his senior disciples, offering prayers to Lord Shiva.
The performance marked a perfect beginning to the event, which was filled with spiritual and cultural significance.
Guru Dr Panda's disciples-Ankita Kumari, Ishita Bharti, Tejaswini P. Behera, Rajashree Behera, Asha Maharana and Soumya Bangar-performed with grace, bringing alive the essence of the traditional dance form.
