The Culture Department organised ‘Shri Krishna Parv’ - ‘Haldhar Mahotsav and Liladhari Ka Prakatotsav’ at Mahishmati Ghat Mandla. Dance drama and devotional songs centered on Shri Krishna were presented in the ceremony. The gurgling stream of Patit Pavan Maa Narmada became a witness to the love of the people of Mandla immersed in the devotion of Shri Krishna. In the closing program of Shri Krishna festival, MP, Faggan Singh Kulaste, Municipal Council President, Vinod Kachwaha, Jai Dutt Jha, Collector, Somesh Mishra, CEO of District Panchayat, Shreyans Kumat, Additional Collector, Rajendra Kumar Singh, SDM Mandla, Sonal Sidam, other public representatives, officers - employees, media world colleagues and a large number of local people were present. On this occasion, the presentations of various cultural programs mesmerised the people.

 

Ravi Ahirwar and team from Chhatarpur presented folk dance. Dr Shyama Pandit from Bhopal presented a dance drama with her team. Famous singers Rudrakant Thakur and Manish Agarwal from Jabalpur immersed people in devotion with their popular songs and bhajans. The program was organised by Madhya Pradesh Culture Department and the district administration supported the event. In the series of cultural programs organised on the occasion of Shri Krishna festival, Dr Shyama Pandit and group from Bhopal performed the dance drama “Krishnayan”. Through this, the divine plays of the Lord were brought alive on the stage.

 

The people present were mesmerised by this dance performance. The drama showed that Shri Krishna is a child, a hero, a lover, a philosopher and a warrior. His life is not just a collection of stories, but a vision of every aspect of life. ‘Krishnayan’ is a divine dance journey, which connects us with the various and inspiring plays of Lord Shri Krishna’s life. This journey begins with Krishna Stuti. It has the childish mischief of stealing butter, the amazing valor of Kaliya Mardan, the compassionate protection of Govardhan Leela and the supernatural sweet devotion of Raas. The drama preserved the scenes from Shri Krishna becoming Purushottam to giving Geeta Updesh on the battlefield of Kurukshetra. Shri Krishna gives the invaluable message of karma, dharma and knowledge to humans in life. "Krishnayan" is not just a performance, it is a confluence of devotion, philosophy and dance.
