The Shakti event, held in November just before Diwali, was a celebration of artistic fusion and collaboration. Named ‘Shakti’ to signify strength and energy, the event featured the works of 45 artists showcasing over 35 art forms. Hosted at Gallery 76, Dubai International Arts Centre, Jumeirah, this prestigious venue, established in 1976, provided a perfect setting for the diverse art forms on display.

A unique aspect of the Shakti event was the integration of Indian folk dances, creating a captivating fusion of visual and performing arts. The event opened with a welcome dance performance featuring styles such as Kathak, Bharatnatyam, Manipuri, and others, adding to the beauty and grandeur of the occasion. Distinguished guests, including Mr. Atul Panse, attended the event, making it a memorable and highly appreciated gathering.
