“पधारो जी”
“Padharo Ji” is an annual signature initiative taken by Foundation to inspire and empower the students of DTF through enriching interactions with the legendary figures of Indian classical music and dance. Since its inception in 2018, this unique initiative has become a cornerstone of inspiration, providing students with invaluable guidance, clarity on their artistic journeys, and the opportunity to seek direction directly from the masters.The Sincere aim of “पधारो जी” is to provide students and their parents an opportunity to know about the legendary artists of Indian classical dance forms as it might be difficult for students to attend programs and shows regularly to enrich their knowledge due to their academic & day to day life commitments. “Padharo ji” is an initiative to provide this opportunity to the students and parents at the Foundation itself. With each edition, “Padharo Ji“ creates an unforgettable platform where students can engage in thought-provoking dialogues, gain insights into the intricacies of classical art forms, and learn from the personal experiences of iconic artists. This immersive experience not only answers their queries but also kindles the spark of passion, discipline, and perseverance necessary for a fulfilling artistic career.The initiative stands as a celebration of knowledge-sharing, mentorship, and the timeless traditions of Indian classical arts, fostering a deeper connection between generations.
