As part of celebrations marking 70 years of Indian independence, the Indian Embassy in Belgrade, in cooperation with the Indian Council for Cultural Relations (ICCR) from New Delhi, organised a concert of classical Indian dance, “Kadamb Katak”, in Belgrade.
Katak is one of the basic types of classical Indian dance that evolved by emphasising rhythmic movements of the feet in time with the music. The dance performance, entitled “Bahukon” or diversity, consisted of six parts, which provided the Serbian audience with a full visual experience.
The concert was attended by over 500 guests, including senior representatives of the Serbian Government, figures from civil society, cultural institutions, media, and successful personalities from the fields of music, art, film, students, as well as members of the diplomatic corps and international organisations.
