Performances by artists from the Ministry’s Song and Drama Division (S&DD) will be held at the Step Plaza open stage and can be enjoyed by people of all ages for free after sunset every day, and the celebration lasts until 8:00 p.m. . . The weekends see special events that reflect India’s rich cultural heritage, a statement from the Ministry said, adding that there is also a Raktadan Amrit Mahotsav (blood donation drive) on September 17.
The cultural evenings will see performances of folk dances from various states, apart from classical dance forms like Kathak and Odissi. Classical and semi-classical instrumental music performances have also been added for those visiting the summit of India Gate. There are also patriotic songs and cultural programs for the freedom movement. Songs on Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose are the mainstay at these events to mark the unveiling of his grand statue. As a tribute to the national hero, each performance ends with the song “kadam kadam badhaye ja”, the marching song of Bose’s Indian National Army.
In line for the rest of the month are skits, street plays and dance dramas on Netaji’s life and ideals. The event culminates with special performances as part of the Gandhi Jayanti Celebrations.
