Workshop by Pracheen Kala Kendra ends Chandigarh, July 3 Fifty youngsters were imparted training in music, painting, folk dance and kathak under the direction of noted kathak danseuse of Jaipur gharana, Samira Koser.

It was followed by another prayer “Jai dhanya Saraswati...” and then came “Teri hai zameen, tera aasman”, a song rendered with eloquence and verve. However, kathak dance numbers replete with spiritual contents, verve and grace evoked curiosity and distinctive interest among the parents of participants. Attired in elegant costumes, junior artistes presented “Vishnu Vandana” before displaying the intricate patterns of Jaipur Gharana kathak like “uthaan”, “tode”, “tukre”. Neha, Alka, Vimal, Ritu, Shruti, Deepshikha, Harpreet and Gunjan performed with confidence and command over footwork.
