The program will begin with 'Kathi Folk Dance' by Lakshminarayan Maurya and fellow, Harda. After this, 'Gangaur Folk Dance' will be performed by Sanjay Mahajan and fellow, Barwah.

Laxminarayan Maurya has been active in this field for a long time. Laxminarayan Maurya has given many presentations of folk dance at various art forums of the country. Sanjay Mahajan has been honored with many prestigious honors and awards. Sanjay Mahajan has given many enticing presentations of Nimar folk dances at various art forums of the country.Gangaur is the Geet Poetry of Nimar, this ritual festival lasting nine days in the month of Chaitra and Vaishakh is dedicated to daughters. The ethos of this festival, which shows importance in social life, can be seen even today in the everyday lifestyle and practice of the land and communities of Nimar. This festival, complemented by song-music-drama-dance, is a unique festival in the world.

Along with Nimar, the tradition of Gangaur in one form or another exists in other states of the country.  Especially the farming community of Nimar invites and serves Gana i.e. Shiva and Gaur ie Parvati in happiness of good yield after harvest.

 Here, considering Parvati as a daughter, Shiva as son-in-law, on the ninth day Shiva means Dhaniyar King, comes to get her. The moment of farewell of this festival is like a farewell to the daughter.
