Kalaa Utsavam - Indian Festival Of Arts

An annual festival, Kalaa Utsavam celebrates Indian arts during the festive period of Deepavali,the Festival of Lights.

Launched in 2002 as a three-day festival, Kalaa Utsavam has since grown into a 10-day festival that presents an exciting selection of contemporary and traditional performances by acclaimed Indian artists from Singapore and beyond.

It is passion that makes great art great, giving it colour, authenticity and integrity. It has given the world its greatest human creations and animates it with human vitality. When combined with reason, goodwill, direction and discipline, it leads to positive action. And in its all-consuming fire, the self is annihilated and one becomes part of an all-embracing life. Through a system that involves long years of rigorous training under discipleship, Indian arts is passed down from generation to generation, eliminating those without the stamina that passion demands.

Kalaa Utsavam,in celebration of Deepavali, offers audiences an array of traditional and contemporary arts programmes by renowned and up-and-coming artists from India and the the Indian diaspora.
