Bhubaneswar: The 5th day of Dot.FEST witnessed an overwhelming audience of over 12,000 people to enjoy the magical night of classical music with the living legend Pandit Hariprasad Chaurasia at IDCO Exhibition Ground on Thursday.
Pandit Chaurasia was accompanied by well-known musicians including Ustad Taufiq Quresh, Ojas Adhiya, and Odia singer
Susmita Das. International performers like Louis Banks, George Brooks, and Gwyneth Wentink also added to the zealous spark of the night.
Visitors continued to enjoy the delectable regional delicacies from different Indian states as well as international cuisines from the 16 Hockey World Cup participating nations and 24 Indian states. Additionally, they also enjoyed delicacies from Odisha.
The Night Bazaar gave local artists, start-ups, performers, craftsmen, and innovators an excellent stage on which to display their products. It has been organised with the intention to display the handicrafts and textiles of Odisha. With more than 120 locally made goods on display, it is proving to be a wonderful crowd-puller and a shopping experience for visitors.
Sebbe-Au-Ebbe (Then & Now), a photo exhibition that honours Bhubaneswar’s illustrious urban/city heritage and charts its transformation, remained the focal point of the occasion.
The City Trails are available to visitors until February 12 so they can fully immerse themselves in the culture and history of Bhubaneswar.
Notably, the Dot.FEST will take the stage by storm and will feature stand-up comedians Sunil Grover, Shilpa Rao, and Sashank Sekha on the sixth day of the festival on Friday.
