3-day arts and music fest at Isha Yoga Centre from Feb 10

A three-day festival of music is being organised at Isha Yoga Centre here from February 10.
It is being conducted in an endeavour to preserve and promote Indian art, music and dance.
The 9th annual Yaksha Festival will be held in the presence of Sadhguru, founder of Isha Foundation, with Bansuri performance by Rakesh Chaurasia, the disciple of renowned Pandit Hariprasad Chaurasia, on the inaugural day.
A classical vocalist from Jaipur, Shruthi Sadolikar Katkar of Atrauli Gharana will perform on the second day, while the final day concert will be by young Vidwan N Ravikiran, a prodigy with the Chitraveena, a Isha release said.

Yaksha, the celestial beings in Indian mythology, attempts to showcase art forms which evolved over thousands of years and are a source of spiritual inspiration.

India's various art forms are not only a reflection of the diverse culture of this land but also a source of spiritual inspiration, the release said.
However, these art forms are quickly becoming a forgotten dimension in our lives.
Yaksha hopes to provide a common platform for the artistes to perform and connoisseurs to see and appreciate these ancient art forms, the release said.
