ACHIEVEMENT | 2018
Cultural Event:
Dance Drama - Bhakt Prahlad.
Dance drama performed by Shivkumar and his troupe.
Prahlad drove his monstrous father to a murderous
rage. He insisted on praising Lord Vishnu who was considered a sworn enemy by
his father Hiranyakashipu. When he tried to punish
his disobedient son, Hiranyakashipu's potent poisons
turned to nectar while his lethal weapons fell harmlessly away. In this tale of
bloodthirsty revenge, Prahlad's only defense is his
devotion which dramatically puts an end to all evil.
