Mysuru: Yakshagana artiste and critic Srinivas Sasthan was presented Chittani Award in memory of Chittani Ramachandra Hegde (in pic), a senior Yakshagana artiste, by former Vice-Chancellor Dr. S.N. Hegde at Jaganmohan Palace here yesterday as part of the three-day Yakshotsava.
Speaking on the occasion, Srinivas Sasthan commended Innovative-Mysuru for promoting Yakshagana in city for the last 25 years. He suggested that to popularise Yakshagana, the art should not confine to only the traditional and mythological stories but should also cover social stories.
