While I appreciate the effort, I sometimes feel these high-profile cultural festivals in Goa are becoming too exclusive and expensive for the common art lover. How do we make such tributes more accessible to the public across India?

Lillete Dubey ma'am is such a gem! She consistently champions the arts. "Swang-jas ke tas" sounds fascinating – folk theatre with contemporary relevance is exactly what we need more of. More power to her and the entire team! 👏

As someone visiting India, it's incredible to see the depth of cultural events. The blend of classical tribute (Zakir Hussain) with contemporary dance and visual art, all in one festival, is remarkable. Serendipity indeed!

Zakir Hussain sahab was a legend. No one can fill that void, but events like these ensure his legacy and teachings are passed on. Would love to see those rare photos she mentioned. Hope they are archived properly for future generations.

Goa truly is a hub for art and culture beyond just beaches! "Enwrapped by art wherever we go" – that line resonates so much. It's great to see established artists supporting and curating such diverse line-ups. More please!
