Dhrupad Recital in Jaipur
Posted by Doug in Travel at 12:26 pm Our five-star Jaipur hotels will put you in the lap of luxury in one of India’s most unique cities. Jaipur is a beautiful urban center, whose unusual city plan is based on a mandala. This gives the streets a very uniform look, with clean lines, and appealing designs. It also is structured so that the citizens walking the city will walk along its mandala lines and find an newly-attuned sensation that they are walking according to their own divine purpose. It’s a heady intention, and certainly adds an aura of graciousness and calm to the place. One will sense it on the streets, and in our hotels there is enormous grace and hospitality. These things are our specialty, and we offer these along with all the usual fantastic features that give our accommodations the five-star designation. You will be sure that we have met the highest standards of the industry, and there are a surplus of extra amenities to keep you happy while you’re here, and make you want to come back.
Jaipur has a lot to offer the savvy world traveler, with tours and sights that will keep the whole family occupied. There is a vibrant night life, and a lively local culture that adds a very lovely rhythm to the place. There is also a local art scene that has been gaining in reputation during recent years, enough to suggest that it is not a short-term trend, but one that will continue to grow. Galleries show classical and contemporary art by artists all over India, with an emphasis on Jaipur culture. Last July, the very famous Dhrupad singer, Ustad Zia Fariduddin Dagar graced Jaipur with a recital. He performed at Samanvai Art, a local gallery that has done exceptional things for visual culture in Jaipur.
Samanvai Art showcases works in all media by contemporary artists in India, showing work by both established and emerging artists who contribute to the national and international art scene. They also act as host for other gallery shows, performances, and lectures on art and art history. For the Dhrupad event, they were fortunate to be able to host Ustad Zia Fariduddin Dagar, who is the living inheritance of Dhrupad music, following in a line that has been unbroken for 20 generations. The idea of this musical form coming together with visual art in Jaipur is a remarkable cultural event, and portends great things for the future of art.
