The April 2003 program titled "Sights and Sounds from South India", was Kannada Vrinda's maiden adventure in front of a very large public audience, most of them being non-Indians. This event was well received by over 5000 men, women and children. This is the highest number of audience that Kannada Vrinda has ever seen in any program it has presented so far. For more information about this event, please visit the following links:
In April 2004, Kannada Vrinda presented " India: A Rainbow of Colors ", which was witnessed by over 2000 people. The day was disrupted by heavy rains, gusty winds, thunder and lightning. Not deterred by the inclement weather, Kannada Vrinda still pulled through this program and came out successful. Over 120 participants on the stage, presented an enjoyable show for 3 hours.
Theme for Kannada Vrinda's April 2005 presentation is " Dances of India ". This presentation attempts to put together the variety of dance systems that are in vogue today, in India. The colorful costumes of the Manipuri dancers, the artistic hand gestures of Bharatha Natyam and Kuchupudi, the tribal dances of Nagaland, the Mohiniattam of Kerala, are just a few of the dance treasure that India has to offer.
