Chiguru
A Platform to Showcase Talent
Chiguru (meaning to sprout) is an event that includes month-long preparation that culminates in a single day of talent display by children. The event includes students from government schools and non-formal educational institutions. Chiguru is an annual cultural event we conduct to showcase the talent of children from various backgrounds. Chiguru is a special program in different ways in different locations in India. Local forms of dance and singing take center stage in most cases, this includes Yakshagana, Dollu kunita, and Gamaka singing in Karnataka and Kuchupudi in Hyderabad. |
