The Karnataka leg of “Journey of love and coexistence”, the national cultural jatha, organised by the Indian People’s Theatre Association (IPTA), will start on December 1 from Bengaluru. The jatha will feature music, art, street plays and folk forms of cultural activities, and will culminate at Manjeswara in Kasargod on December 7.
The valedictory will be held at Gilivindu, the house of noted Kannada poet late M. Govinda Pai.
The IPTA President and noted theatre director Prasanna said that as part of jatha places of renowned personalities, litterateurs, freedom fighters, artists, social thinkers and reformers will be visited. “Over the last two and a half months, jatha has already been taken out in Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh, Jammu, Bihar and Kerala among others. This is a cultural response to the attacks on humanity. One culturally rich rural area is chosen for the jatha and we have chosen Dakshina Kannada in Karnataka,” he added.
