The Virasat Art and Heritage Festival 2023, running from October 27 to November 10, provides a platform for people to experience the richness of art, culture, and music from renowned masters of classical music and dance. The festival features a diverse range of attractions, including a crafts village, cuisine stalls, an art fair, folk music, Bollywood-style performances, heritage walks, and more. This festival serves as an opportunity for people from across the country to gain deeper insights into India's rich cultural heritage and its significance. Every facet of the festival, including art exhibitions, musical performances, food, and heritage walks, reflects the traditional values associated with Indian heritage.
REACH, established in 1995 in Dehradun, has been organizing the Virasat Mahotsav in the city with the primary aim of preserving and promoting India's artistic, cultural, and heritage values. The Heritage Festival has played a pivotal role in reviving rural arts that were on the verge of extinction due to a lack of audience. It has contributed to the preservation of village traditions, music, dance, crafts, painting, sculpture, theatre, storytelling, traditional cuisine, and more, helping these art forms transition into the modern era and gain recognition. Virasat 2023 promises to captivate and transport attendees on an unforgettable musical and cultural journey.
