Folk stars shine bright

What: Head to Lok Kala Sangam, a festival celebrating the vibrant folk arts of Rajasthan. The two-day event will bring together over 400 artists from the state’s three major folk-art hubs—Shekhawati, Dhundhari, and Braj—for a carefully curated showcase highlighting lesser-known traditions and the artisans who have preserved these art forms. Expect everything from gaalibaazi, a spirited question-and-answer jugalbandi on political and social issues, to vibrant dance traditions such as baam rasiya, mayur nritya, charkula, chakri nritya, and more. The festival will also feature exhibitions and craft showcases where artisans practicing miniature art, bandhani, and Rajasthani puppetry will display and sell their work.

Rathore, who brings 14 years of experience to her practice, will host an exhibition-cum-sale featuring quirky stationery, holographic stickers, tote bags, magnets, and other playful design merchandise. The evening will conclude with Songs of Creativity, a folk music performance in collaboration with the Jaipur Virasat Foundation.

Step up to new-age Bhangra

Rooted in the vibrant Punjabi folk dance form, the session promises a high-octane introduction to Bhangra, combining traditional steps with energetic choreography set to a diverse mix of Punjabi and non-Punjabi tracks.

Coming from modest beginnings, Dhillon rose to prominence after being noticed by singer Guru Randhawa, and the duo gained wider recognition with their electrifying appearance on India’s Got Talent Season 9. Whether you are a beginner looking to try Bhangra or a seasoned dancer, this workshop offers a chance to learn from two of the most exciting names in the scene today.

He jokes about the absurdities of urban life, from the stressful pace of city routines to the everyday chaos of traffic.
