Odia Literary Trail to Spotlight Storytelling and Traditional Dhap Dance

The morning session will feature an engaging storytelling experience based on the Odia short story “Swapnabhanga”. Designed in an interactive format, the session allows participants to connect with the narrative even without prior reading, fostering an inclusive and participatory atmosphere.

Adding to the cultural richness, the trail will host a performance of the traditional Dhap dance, a dynamic art form rooted in the Kandha community. Known for its strong rhythmic cadence and deep cultural symbolism, the Dhap dance embodies generations of oral tradition and expressive movement.

Together, the narrative and dance elements offer audiences a vibrant and enriching start to their cultural day.
