The symposium’s highlight was the keynote address by the esteemed art critic and cultural activist, Shri Arvind Ojha Ji. His insightful discourse on “Indian Artistic Traditions and Contemporary Art Trends” captivated the audience. Shri Ojha eloquently explained how all art forms are interconnected and serve as powerful carriers of knowledge.

Both performances were met with overwhelming appreciation from the assembled art connoisseurs, leaving an indelible impression.
