A fusion of kathak, with one of the oldest forms of traditional singing Dhrupad by Anuj Mishra on the composition Shiv Shiv, earned a lot of appreciation from the audience."This event is a tribute to my father. Just like he also wished, we are trying to spread kathak in every corner of the globe," said Anuj. The artists presented a bandish on the theme of Krishna and Radha. Neha Mishra presented a fusion of kathak by adding the dance form to a contemporary dance mode in the title ‘Prawah’.
In the end, the artistes performed at the song Mohey Apne Hi Rang Mein Rang De Rangeela and earned a huge round of applause from the audience.
