1 Nov
Summary
- Monthly performances at Bharatiya Nritya Kala Mandir support artists.

The state art and culture department in Patna is actively implementing programs to bolster local artists, particularly those in theatre. These initiatives aim to invigorate cultural activities across the city.
Monthly performances, including Shukra Gulzar and Shani Bahar, are held at Bharatiya Nritya Kala Mandir, providing valuable exposure for artists and costing around Rs 90,000 per event. Furthermore, a series of 24 Sangeet Sandhya programs is planned for Rajdhani Vatika, occurring fortnightly with an allocated budget of Rs 1.46 lakh for each session.
A significant development is the impending reopening of Kalidas Rangalaya, recognized as one of Patna's oldest theatres. Resolution of past financial issues now paves the way for its return to public access, promising a renewed cultural hub for the city.
