Port Blair, October 8: A mythological dance drama in Hindi titled ‘Jai Maa Addishakti’, was staged at Dr. B. R. Ambedkar Auditorium by ‘Kasheesh’, a social-cultural forum in collaboration with Directorate of Art & Culture and Jhummurr Nrityangan here yesterday. The one-hour long traditional mythological drama, beautifully choreographed explained how Mother Durga killed the demon Mahishasur, signifying the triumph of good over evil.
In his brief address on the occasion, the Lt Governor complimented ‘Kasheesh’ and the Department of Art & Culture for presenting the mythological drama in a very interesting manner, portraying various facets of Maa Durga. “Our country is a land of rich cultural heritage, yet it is ironical that on the one hand, we worship women ‘shakti’ and at the same time commit atrocities against them. It is, therefore, imperative that we should respect our women”, he observed.
The function concluded with the vote of thanks proposed by the President of Kasheesh, Shri S. Balasubramaniam.
