Renowned Koodiyattom performer Maargi Sathi, dancer par excellence Daksha Seth and gifted singer Arundathi will together inaugurate the first anniversary celebrations of 'Kalaangan', a noted dance and music school in the city.

Speaker G Karthikeyan will preside over the function, which would be held at Vylopilly Samskruthi Bhavan here.
