Imphal, May 30 2022:
A 5-day workshop cum production on Holi (Sankirtan), which was organised by Chaitanya Institute of Sankirtana under the sponsorship of Sangeet Natak Akademi, New Delhi, culminated at Ningtek Mandap, Wangkhei Thangjam Leikai, Ayangpalli Road on Monday.
Delivering the keynote address of the valedictory function, Institute secretary Takhellambam Nanaotomba recalled that in addition to offering prayers during Holi at Govinda and Bijoygovinda, the religious ritual/performance are performed at households as well.
However, this has significantly gone down over the years.
Thus, the workshop cum production was organised to preserve this age-old practice.
The closing function was attended by Ranginiketan chairman Ajit Das as chief guest; state awardee Konsam Kumar as president and state awardee Thambalangou as guest of honour.
