Over 100 Folk and Classical Artistes from all over North Eastern states are travelling to Bengalure to perform their respective art forms.

RAAS LEELA-Manipur The Rasa lila or Rasa dance is part of the traditional story of Krishna described in Hindu scriptures such as the Bhagavata Purana and literature such as the Gita Govinda, where he dances with Radha and her sakhis. The Indian classical dance of Kathak evolved from the 'Raslila of Braj and Manipuri Classical Dance' (Vrindavan) also known as Natwari Nritya, which was revived in 1960s by Kathak dancer, Uma Sharma. The term, rasa meaning "aesthetics" and lila meaning "act," "play" or "dance" is a concept from Hinduism, which roughly translates to "play (lila) of aesthetics (rasa)," or more broadly as "Dance of Divine Love". SATTRIYA-Assam: Sattriya Dance has its origin in the ‘Sattras’ developed by the social, cultural and religious reformer Mahapurush Srimanta Sankardev in the 15th and the 16thcentury. The Sattras were established for the propagation of Vaishnavism and later they became the religious, cultural and social hub for the people of Assam. The great Vaishnavite Saint used the medium of art and culture to spread his philosophy of monotheism, popularly known as ‘Eka Saran Hari Naam Dharma’.
