ICA Department Launches Three-Day Kirtan Workshop in Tripura

The Institute of Cultural Affairs (ICA) Department formally opened a three‑day Kirtan workshop in Tripura earlier this week. The inauguration ceremony was attended by local cultural officials and participants eager to deepen their knowledge of devotional singing.
The workshop is designed to provide intensive instruction in traditional Kirtan chanting, covering vocal techniques, lyrical interpretation, and the historical context of the genre. Musicians from various parts of the state have enrolled to refine their skills under the guidance of experienced teachers.
Organisers indicated that the program aims to preserve and promote the rich heritage of devotional music in the region. Over the three days, participants will engage in practical sessions, group rehearsals, and discussions on the role of Kirtan in community life.
The event is scheduled to conclude with a public performance, allowing trainees to showcase what they have learned to a broader audience.
Authorities hope the workshop will inspire renewed interest in cultural practices and encourage younger generations to pursue traditional arts.
