It is rare for the public enclosure to be given an entertainment treat of its own. AGP Productions, in association with the RWITC, will host a Maharashtrian cultural fest at the Races on Sunday.
Come February 19, 2012; this racing season promises to go to an all new level; "riding" on the (horse) back of the debuting AGP Race Day! As part of the sporting extravaganza, Ashvin Gidwani Productions is organizing a Multimedia Racing Experience that not only complements the high octane racing action on the turf but also adds lustre to the entire event. Set in this backdrop, AGP is organizing a Marathi Cultural Festival called “Jatra” at the Mahalaxmi Race Course from 1.30-6.30 pm.
The "Khadya Sanskruti" and the "Maharashtra Lok Kala" events will be part of the entire programme and promise to add greater depth and flavour to the afternoon per se.
This event would be graced by ardent admirers and supporters of Marathi Culture as well as celebrities from the Marathi Film and Theatre Fraternity.
All the attendees will be welcomed in typical Maharashtrian style amidst much cheer and fanfare, with traditional musical instruments such as the Dhol and Tasha played in the background.
Traditional "Maharashtrianism" will be taken to another level on the gastronomic front with a variety of Maharashtrian delicacies such as "Kombdi Vade", "Kolhapuri Tambada Pandhara Rassa" and sweets such as "Puran Poli" will be on offer. Talk about stimulating the taste buds in traditional style!
And if that isn't enough; there will be a whole gamut of Maharashtrian Cultural programmes, organized for entertainment between the races. These programmes include Shivraj Abhishek and Marathi folk dances such as the "Shektri", "Koli dance", "Lavani" and "Gondhal". These dances have been conceptualized and executed by the famous Director and Producer of the critically acclaimed Marathi Serial, "Marathi Paul Padhte Pudhe".
On the whole, the entire evening promises to go down as one for the ages. Given the fact that horse racing has never before been combined, packaged and presented along with authentic and traditional Maharashtrian programmes of such a type, and it assumes even greater significance! So come one...come all, you are cordially invited to be a part of this sporting and cultural extravaganza! Be a part of the inaugural AGP Race Day!
