Mysore/Mysuru: The week-long ‘Vasundharotsava-2021’, the 36th edition of classical cultural extravaganza marking the 75th year of India’s Independence, organised under the aegis of Vasundhara Performing Arts Centre (VPAC) in memory of Art Patron K.V. Murthy, began at Sri Nadabrahma Sangeetha Sabha on JLB Road here last evening.
Renowned danseuse Dr. Vasundhara Doraswamy, in a solo thematic presentation on the life and heroics of Kittur Rani Channamma, earned huge applause from the audience on day one of the festival. The scenes from the dance-drama that featured tales of Kittur Rani Channamma taking on the Britishers delighted the gathering, with Dr. Vasundhara Doraswamy herself donning the role of the Kittur ruler.
