This year the festival will be kick started from a historical, culturally or geographically important remote location in the district.the cultural troupes from different states, from other districts of Orissa and from the district will be show casing their art and culture.
The preparatory committee meeting was held in DRDA conference hall in Rayagada today and was attended by prominent citizens of Rayagada along with media persons and officials. Collector Rayagada solicited the cooperation of all the citizens from all walks of life to make this festival a success.
These type of festivals are non official and informal initiative of the people at large, supported by the district administration. These type of festival not only provide for cultural exchange and thereby leading to cultural enrichment, but also infuse a new vigour in hte society, something which can only be experienced by being in the thick of things. It precisely because of this that these kind of cultural festivals are very popular in these parts of the country.
any help from anybody in this matter will be highly appreciated by the District council of culture , headed by the Collector Rayagada.
