Parab -2024: The Tribal Festival of Symphony of Music Captivates Spectators

Deccan Chronicle  

Koraput : In the heart of Odisha’s picturesque Koraput district, a vibrant celebration unfolds every year, weaving together tradition, art, and culture in a breathtaking spectacle. This year, “Parab-2024” — held from December 14 to 18 — witnessed a unique confluence of tradition and corporate support as Vedanta Aluminium, India’s largest aluminium producer, proudly partnered with the festival. Central to the festivities is the mesmerising display of Saura art, a traditional tribal painting style characterised by its intricate geometric patterns and depictions of daily life, rituals, and nature. A stall featuring tribal art, including Saura arts and Dhokra products crafted by the talented tribal artisans of Kalahandi’s Lanjigarh was set up at the venue. Supporting festivals like PARAB not only promotes traditional art forms but also strengthens community ties and fosters pride in our diverse cultural legacy.” Equally captivating is the showcase of Dhokra art, a form of ancient metal casting that dates back over 4,000 years.
