Showcasing the best of Kerala’s vibrant folk and ritualistic art traditions, the seven-day cultural festival ‘Utsavam 2021’ has got off to a colourful start, featuring hundreds of artistes in 30 venues across the state.
Leading folklore artists representing various traditions were honoured at the function with the Utsavam Puraskaram. The festival offers a venue for scores of performers representing a wide variety of folk, tribal and ethnic traditions that flourished in different parts of the state. This year, the event assumes added significance as it has come as a big support to artists hit by sweeping disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, which has had its grim impact on the cultural domain as well.
