The 11th annual festival of colors tour by Red Baraat makes a stop at NC State University, Raleigh, NC on Friday, March 3, 2023. Red Baraat is a pioneering band from Brooklyn, New York. Conceived by dhol player Sunny Jain, the group has drawn worldwide praise for its singular sound, a merging of hard driving North Indian bhangra with elements of hip-hop, jazz and raw punk energy.

Hum Sub announces Basant Bahar 2023. This year, we will ring in spring with a difference. Basant Bahar 2023 will feature a minimum of 1 to a maximum of 2 mini productions rather than individual short programs. 

Every spring, Cary Arts Center in downtown Cary comes alive to the sounds and rhythms of India’s musical and classical dance forms. This is our signature Basant Bahar event, held in the month of March.

Unlike Cary Diwali, our autumn event, Basant Bahar is aimed at encouraging the showcasing of our classical traditions in music and dance. Past editions have had Kathak, Kuchipudi, Odissi, and Bharatanatyam dances, percussion instruments such as the table, dhol, and mridangam, and string and wind instruments such as the veena, violin, and flute. We also present dance-dramas based on stories from Indian mythology, which are rich in symbolic meaning and peppered with life lessons.

Indian classical dances are highly stylized and takes years of practice to perfect. By providing a platform for these performances, we hope to keep alive India’s rich cultural heritage and help young Indian-Americans connect to their roots while embracing, and immersing themselves in, the culture of their adopted country.
