Many communities, one shared stage

Another significant initiative implemented by the Kalakshetra was a month-long intensive Workshop on Sattriya Music, Gayan-Bayan, and Ankiya Bhaona, organised from February 17 to March 17, 2025. This workshop holds immense significance as it brought together young artists and trainees from fifteen different ethnic communities residing in the greater Bor-Narayanpur area, setting a spectacular example of unity.

Upon concluding their training, these ethnic artists enthralled the audience with a flawless presentation of the Ankiya Naat (play) Ram Bijoy in Brajavali language, carrying a profound message of harmony to society. Apart from showcasing their acting prowess, the young trainees demonstrated exceptional mastery over traditional songs, instruments, and dance.
