Kathak Mahotsav Canada 2012 — Only 9 days away!

Kathak Mahotsav Canada 2012, now in its fifth year, is a festival of Kathak dance that is modelled after the springtime Durbars of the Moghul courts. It is a gathering of Canadian Kathak artists in celebration of the art of Kathak, showcasing the adaptability and relevance of classical Kathak styles, adapting its temple origins to the present.
