Get ready to experience a unique celebration of artistic expression as Kalaa Prangan brings its prestigious “Kalaa Sangam” series to Rajkot for the very first time. This special event, which marks the 11th “Baithak” by Kalaa Prangan, is a beautiful confluence of three distinct art forms: dance, music, and visual art.
Scheduled to take place on Sunday, September 14, 2025, the event is set to begin at 6:30 PM (IST). It is a testament to Kalaa Prangan’s commitment to promoting traditional and contemporary arts, offering a rich cultural experience to the people of Rajkot.
A Trio of Artistic Delights: The Kalaa Sangam event is structured around three key presentations, each a masterpiece in its own right.
- “Sanchari” – A Kathak Recital: The evening will begin with a graceful performance of “Sanchari,” a traditional Kathak recital by the talented Shri Khyati Mer. Kathak, one of India’s major classical dance forms, is known for its intricate footwork, expressive gestures, and rhythmic storytelling. Shri Khyati Mer’s performance is sure to captivate the audience and set a soulful tone for the evening.
- “Sursangat” – A Musical Gathering: Following the dance recital, the stage will transform into a musical haven with “Sursangat.” This part of the evening features a musical gathering led by the harmonious voice of Shri Dhwani Vachhrajani. He will be accompanied by two exceptional musicians: Shri Neeraj Dholakia on the Tabla, providing rhythmic depth, and Shri Apoorva Vaghela on the Harmonium, adding a melodic layer to the performance. “Sursangat” promises a journey through melodies that will resonate with the hearts of all attendees.
- “Ikshana” – A Visual Art Exhibition: Completing this artistic trinity is “Ikshana,” a visual art exhibition by the acclaimed artist Shri Navneet Rathod. The exhibition will offer a feast for the eyes, showcasing his unique creations and providing a visual counterpoint to the live performances. Attendees will have the opportunity to immerse themselves in a world of color, form, and emotion through Rathod’s artwork.
