The annual Kendra Dance Festival is set to captivate audiences with its revival of timeless mythological tales through dance, starting May 1 at Kamani Auditorium. Organized by Shriram Bharatiya Kala Kendra, the festival will feature productions of Abhimanyu, Goddess Durga, and Kartikeya, beautifully narrated through Indian classical and folk dance forms.

This year's festival reflects both continuity and renewal, as established works are reimagined with updated choreography, music, and stage design while preserving the original spirit. The opening act, 'Chakravyuh,' delves into Abhimanyu's heroic struggle in the formidable battle formation devised by the Kauravas, capturing the epic's valor and conflict.

Joined by 'Shree Durga' and 'Kartikeya,' the productions, under the guidance of veteran choreographers Shashidharan Nair and Raj Kumar Sharma, promise a rich legacy blended with modern sensibilities. Tickets are now available from Rs 500 to Rs 4,000 on BookMyShow, appealing to diverse audiences eager to witness these mythological dances.
