The national theatre festival Bahurupi exploring various facets of motherhood was inaugurated by environmentalist Tulasi Gowda here on Saturday.
The inauguration featured Tulasi Gowda and other chief guests rocking a cradle with a child to the tune of a lullaby, conjuring up images of a mother soothing the child and symbolic of the theme of the theatre festival.
The festival – which is being conducted by theatre repertoire Rangayana - will feature nearly 35 plays of which 20 will be in Kannada and the remaining will be staged in different languages by troupes from across the country.
