ITANAGAR: The inaugural edition of the Folk Music and Dance Festival of Arunachal Pradesh began in Namsai district on Wednesday, marking the beginning of a two-day extravaganza celebrating the state’s rich cultural heritage.

Featuring performances by 18 indigenous folk musical dance groups and 5 folk musical bands from the state, the festival promises to showcase the vibrant tapestry of state’s cultural diversity.

Notably, three selected teams will have the honour of performing alongside 12 other cultural troupes from across India at the Bharat Lok Sangeet – Arunachal Utsav 2024, scheduled for March 2 and 3.

A government initiative, the festival underscores the state’s commitment to cultural preservation and promotion.

Deputy Chief Minister Chowna Mein, addressing the inaugural function in Namsai, highlighted the festival’s role as a catalyst for safeguarding indigenous knowledge and heritage.

Recognising the vital economic and identity-building contributions of the arts and cultural industries, Deputy Chief Minister Mein urged artists to actively participate in preserving Arunachal’s cultural heritage.

He highlighted the potential of cultural tourism and entertainment industries in attracting tourists and creating livelihood opportunities within the state.

Furthermore, Deputy Chief Minister Mein commended the leaders of various “traditional authorities” for their pivotal role as custodians of cultural values and heritage in Arunachal Pradesh.

The inaugural session also witnessed the felicitation of Indian Idol (Season 14) top 7 finalist Obom Tangu by Mein on behalf of Chief Minister Pema Khandu and the government.

Distinguished guests, including MP Tapir Gao, MLAs Gum Tayeng, Laisam Simai, Dasanglu Pul, and Jummum Ete Deori, Padmashree Awardee and GI expert Dr. Rajani Kant, and officials from NABARD, graced the occasion.
