Dakshin Mahotsav 2023

Sanskriti of NJ held our annual Dakshin Mahotsav on April 16th, 2023. The event is a celebration of the grand New Year festivals of Southern India. Like every year, this joyous event was celebrated with a spirit of hope and new beginnings.

Oscar-winning song "Naatu Naatu", inspired us to set the theme to be South Indian movies! There were enthusiastic and energetic dance performances across all ages. A mesmerizing tribute was paid to S.P Balasubramanyam, by the performers of Palmer Drive Melodies while the Rutgers student led teen band ‘Swara’ showcased the rich and vibrant heritage of South Indian music and culture.  The fashion show this year was a riot of colors symbolizing the beginning of the spring season.

Sanskriti of NJ Advisory Committee member, Archana Gollamudi opened the show with introducing the current Sanskriti President Neeta Juvekar and Executive Committee (EC) liaison, Anitha Shriram. We thank the stars of the show, the Event Chairpersons- Prashanti Kumar and Sindhura Reddy. We appreciate the hard work put in by the Event Chairs and the Program Leads. This team worked very well together and displayed true leadership.
