Cultural fest ‘Confluences of Karnataka’ enthralls audiences

Bengaluru: A two-day cultural fest celebrating the ‘Confluences of Karnataka’ kicked off on Saturday at the Bangalore International Centre (BIC) in Domlur. 

Titled ‘Krishna to Kaveri’, the event is organised by the Azim Premji University, in collaboration with BIC. Popular filmmaker and writer Nagathihalli Chandrashekhar inaugurated the festival.

There were several cultural performances and workshops through the day.

A Hindustani vocal recital by Pt Vinayak Torvi and team enthralled the audience in the opening concert.

The ‘Kannada Gottilla’ workshop was particularly impressive. It provided a crash course in spoken Kannada.  A quiz program titled ‘Sutta Mutta Gottaa?’ was conducted by Tejasvi Udupa. Various workshops were also organised for children.
