Moodbidri, Jan 16: The annual cultural festival, 'Alva's Virasat - 2017' that was organized at Puthige since the last three days under the aegis of Alva's Education Foundation concluded on a high note on Sunday January 15. Various cultural programmes marked the last day of this cultural festival, on which the audiences feasted on the programmes with their eyes, ears, and souls.

The day's programme began with songs of different genres rendered superbly by gifted Bollywood playback singer, Shaan, and Payal Dev. The numbers, which inspired the people to clap, gyrate, and flow with the music, took them altogether to a different world.

'Gaanarchana', programme of classical music rendered of Gargi, Archana and Samanvi representing Latangi School of Music Udupi also came off beautifully.

In the dance programme which followed, a team of 40 students from Alva's educational institutions presented 'Bharatanatyam - Pushpanjali' under the direction of Sheela Unnikrishnan from Chennai, while a group of 30 students performed stick dance of Manipur under the direction of Preetam Singh.
