Kesari Tours Completes 20 Years In Operations
Reema Sisodia - Mumbai
On June 8, 2004, Kesari Tours Pvt Ltd will complete 20 years
in operation. To commemorate its 20-year presence in the travel and tourism
industry, the company recently added a new facet to its compendium in the form
of the Kesari Art and Culture Foundation. The foundation aims to encourage and
promote local Indian talent and give them a platform to perform in regions across
India.
To further provide impetus to this new venture, the company
has scheduled a series of events that would be held in various cities throughout
the year. The launch event that was held under the auspices of Kesari Art and
Culture Foundation was the Holi Utsav held in Mumbai at the ITC Grand Maratha
Sheraton. Prominent singers from the Indian classical school namely Pushkar
Lele and Shubha Mudgal performed at the event. The next event was held in Pune
at the Taj Blue Diamond where the festival of Gudi Padwa was celebrated along
with performances from leading singers from the Indian classical scene. At both
the events, the work of artist Sadhak Shivananda Saraswati was also displayed.
Similar events have been lined up to be held in other cites namely Bangalore
and New Delhi in the coming year.
Says Veena Patil, director, Kesari Tours Pvt Ltd, “Our
new venture is the dream of our founder Kesari Patil. The sole aim of the foundation
is to supporting and promoting local Indian art and culture across states. It
has been born from the core of human expression. It is committed to nurture
Indian art and culture at a national and international level. This is the company's
contribution to the society with a focused aim to meet the cause of art and
culture in India especially for the local talent. It marks a new beginning in
service to our rich heritage and tradition.”
