Bhopal, Feb 10 : Cultural activities are on a steady rise in Madhya Pradesh as the coronavirus crisis slowly subsides with the upcoming Mandu and Khajuraho dance festivals being organised this month.
According to official information, the Mandu festival would be held in Mandu from February 13-14 and the Khajuraho Dance Festival 2021 from February 20 to 26 in the world famous temple town of Khajuraho, as both these festivals would be organised by the Madhya Pradesh government and the state Tourism Board.
Kesarbai Kerkar.
Kesarbai Kerkar, one of the most prominent vocalists of the Jaipur-Atrauli gharana, was known as much for her genius and brilliance as she was for her mercurial temper and her ability to publicly downsize those she felt were a nuisance.
One such account that old-timers always narrated concerned a certain minister who received a message from his secretary just as Kerkar’s concert was about to begin. Not one to be held back, she chastised the minister in public and informed him that this was her performance space and not his office. She made it amply clear that he would have to leave or then sit through the concert. To his credit, the minister did not leave the venue.
