Memorable evening adorned with Kathak dance at Pracheen Kala Kendra

Chandigarh: 24th December 2025: (Kartika Kalyani Singh//The Music Screen Desk):

In a special program organized by Pracheen Kala Kendra, Prachi Dixit and her group from America enthralled the audience with their Kathak dance performance. Prachi received her dance training and learned the intricacies of Kathak dance under the guidance of Pandit Kanhaiya Lal Ji. Prachi is also the founder of Nupur Dance Academy in America and runs an affiliated center of Pracheen Kala Kendra. She has won the hearts of the audience with her various performances. Prachi is doing wonderful work in promoting Indian art abroad.

The program began with a devotional composition, Shiva Vandana. This was followed by a lyrical composition based on Krishna poems, which were composed by her guru. After this, her group presented the technical aspects of Kathak dance. They skillfully demonstrated their strong command over the technical aspects by presenting Paran, Gat, Uthan, Chalein, Amad, Tripalli, Pramilu, Tihai and Chakradar Paran based on Vilambit, Madhya and Drut laya in Teen Taal. Following this, they presented a beautiful composition based on the emotional aspect, Krishna and Kali, which depicted a timeless dialogue between two divine forces - Krishna and Kali. Krishna represents Maya - the beauty and illusion of the world that draws us in through joy, love, and bliss. His flute enchants the soul, reminding us why existence feels meaningful and captivating. Kali, on the other hand, fierce and unwavering, symbolizes Shakti - raw power, time, and change. She shatters illusions, bringing awakening where comfort cannot remain. Although they appear opposite, they are not in conflict. They are divine complements.

Where Krishna awakens joy, Kali brings awareness. Where Krishna maintains illusion, Kali reveals the truth.

Together, they guide the soul from illusion to liberation, from pleasure to purpose. 

This presentation is inspired by David R. Kinsley's book, "The Sword and the Flute: Kali and Krishna," from Hindu mythology.

At the end of the program, the artists were honored with flowers, shawls, and mementos.

Chandigarh: 10th December 2025: (Kartika Kalyani Singh//The Music Screen Desk):

This historic place continues the tradition of the magic of song, music, and dance. When I first came here, I came with my uncle, with Gyani Rajinder Singh Chhabra. My mother took a rickshaw from the bus stand to reach here. Despite this, two or three times, when I had to cross a crowded road, I felt the need to hold on to her finger. I remember that same Ancient Art Center from that time. Even then, the atmosphere here was good. People were formally taught music. After spending my childhood there, I entered journalism and then came here for an event. With ਆ journalist Rajendra Sewak Agarwal, a famous journalist from Mohali at that time. He introduced me to the Kausar family. This affection has continued ever since.
