Gidugu Ramamurthy Telugu Basha and Janapada Kalapeetham of Vizianagaram has been putting extra efforts for the revival and protection of various folk arts, ahead of annual Pydithalli Ammavari Sirimanotsavam to be held on October 31, 2023.
The organisation established in Kothaveedhi, Dasannapeta of Vizianagaram by Badri Kurmarao in the year 2004 has identified that many folk arts were on the verge of extinction in the absence of patronage from temples and government authorities.
It urged the government to extend its support to the artists who would be able to pass on the great folk arts to next generations.
