Nrityutsav - 2005

Andhra and Tamil Nadu have a new cause to fight for, apart from the Kaveri waters - dance ballets.

The South Indian Cultural Association is organising a 3-day dance festival called Nrityutsav - 2005. This 45 year old cultural organisation aims at promoting the traditional South Indian dance forms.
