Daasara Aradhane

Kuwait Kannada Koota celebrated Dasara Aradhane, on Sunday, the 25th February, 2007 in the Indian Community School Khaitan auditorium. The first program of the year was a devotional and musical treat for all those who attended. The program began with invocation song, followed by welcome address by the President, Mr. Sudhakar Shetty. The printed edition of the “Marala Mallige” was also brought out to commemorate the occasion. As part of the program, multiple competitions for children were held to enable them to showcase their talent. The tiny tots mesmerized the audience with their fancy dress, depicting non-contemporary religious saints. Spectacular performances by the 6 to 12 years age-group children, displayed in the Dance Drama competition lingered for long time in the minds of the audience. The solo singing of `Dasara Padagalu’ by children in the age-group of 13-16 years was simply superb. Towards the end of cultural program, Bhajan Mandali of the Koota rendered devotional songs and bhajans in their energetic presentations, marked by melody and clarity.
