Venue: Rajarani Temple Complex
Celestial
music, sublime surroundings and
soothing climes of late
winter—soul traverses to an
elevated sphere leaving you
utterly relaxed. Holidays are
made with this kind of
experience that creates a
lasting mark in your mind.
Rajarani Music Festival held
against the backdrop of the 11th
century Rajarani Temple in
Bhubaneswar is such an evening
of concerts: it’s relaxing,
entertaining and uplifting. The
city has a large assemblage of
celebrated temples of which the
Rajarani Temple is one of the
most conspicuous. It’s
remarkable for the absence any
presiding deity in it. The
temple is famous for its ornate
deul or compass and the statues
of eight Dikpals guarding the
eight cardinal directions of the
temple.
To
show case the glorious tradition
of Indian classical music, the
Rajarani Music Festival was
conceived to be organized by the
Department of Tourism in
association with Bhubaneswar
Music Circle.
The musical evenings are
resplendent with excellent
performances by the great
maestros of Indian classical
music creating an allegory of
darbari gayans (musical
performances in an Indian king’s
court) of age old histories.
Eminent instrumentalists and
vocalists of India have rendered
scintillating performance in
this festival over the years.
