Jharna Edition 5 - A Festival of Arts (In-Person & Online)

Welcome to Jharna, the fifth edition of Bharata Kalanjali's prestigious festival dedicated to the arts! We are thrilled to continue our tradition of promoting, celebrating, and inspiring art in its true spirit. Jharna has emerged as a unique platform, curating an immersive experience for emerging artists in Bharatanatyam, exploring the depth of innovation and creativity inherent in this timeless art form.

Bharata Kalanjali takes pride in creating an environment that fosters artistic expression and supports the growth of emerging talent. Jharna serves a dual purpose, hosting a live audience for an intimate experience while simultaneously reaching a global audience, sharing the art and spirit of Bharatanatyam with enthusiasts worldwide.
