SPIC MACAY , Pantnagar Chapter successfully organized the artist night
featuring Rajasthani Folk Performance by The Manganiyar “ Shree Kheta Khan and Troupe” on 19th
November ,2013 in Gandhi Auditorium.
In the gracious presence of Dean Student Welfare Dr. D. S.
Murthy, Deans of all Colleges, Staff Counsellor of SPIC MACAY , Pantnagar
Chapter Dr. A.K. Upadhyaya and many
other dignitaries of Pantnagar, this eminent Rajasthani Troupe exhibited their
remarkable talent.
The
troupe consisted of 8 people ,headed by Shree Kheta Khan Ji. All of them were
playing traditional instruments of Rajasthan , ’Kamaicha’ and ‘Khartaal’ to
name a few. One of the members of the troupe has been a contestant in a famous
musical show Indian Idol. The troupe had also, in the past years, mesmerized
the viewers of the talent hunt show X-Factor. Shree Kheta Khan ji has even
performed under “ The Manganiyar Seduction – By Robsten Abel” at the University
of Michigan.
Their performance started with the introduction of all the
Rajasthani instruments they brought along, followed by the traditional welcome
song of Rajasthan ,” Padhaaro Mhaare Des “. They also sang from songs from
bollywood which were originally their compositions. Their scintillating
performance had not less enthralled the audience of Pantnagar , when two of
their dancers in traditional Rajasthani costumes added to the glory of the
evening.
The
show continued for about one and a half hour , and throughout the performance
the hall echoed with applauses and words of appreciation by the spellbound
audience. Taking a step forward in promoting the culture , this time the compering was done in Hindi. It concluded
with Dr. A .K. Upadhayaya sharing few words in praise of the troupe, followed by a Vote of Thanks by The President
of SPIC MACAY, Pantnagar Chapter Mr. Suraj Pandey. The program was taken to an end with the playing of National Anthem.
The event was a
perfect blend of the rich classical music , dance and tradition of Rajasthan.
SPIC MACAY once again succeeded in attracting the audience of Pantnagar towards
the rich heritage and culture of the country. The society also looks forward to
organizing many more such artist evenings in future.- Ankita Dutta, Gitika Pandey, Suditi Chand, Upasana Uniyal, Vibhu Naithani
