Curtains fell on the seventh edition of the National School of Drama’s Adi Rang Mahotsav on March 23, in New Delhi, after a spectacular three-day celebration, featuring nearly 300 diverse tribal performing artists from rural India.
Bridging the gap between India’s rich tribal cultural practices and the media-driven mainstream, hundreds of indigenous artists brought their deep-rooted culture to life on a grand stage, fulfilling the festival’s objective. Through a vibrant mix of performances, including tribal dances, music, and theatre, the festival brought to light a side of India’s heritage that has often been overlooked.
