ITANAGAR: The closing ceremony of the Arunachal Rang Mahotsav 2024, the International Theatre Festival of Arunachal Pradesh, was graced by the Governor of Arunachal Pradesh Lt. General KT Parnaik (Retd.) at Indira Gandhi Park, Itanagar, on Thursday.

The fortnight theatre festival, which commenced on November 22, featured a rich array of national and international performances, showcasing diverse theatre and cultural traditions.

Speaking on the occasion, the Governor emphasized that theatre is the "soul" of the country, the state, and the people. He mentioned it to be the best way to send social messages to the public.

It is a testament to the boundless power of theatre to connect hearts, transcend borders, and echo the shared human experience.

“The festival-themed Route to Roots has reminded all of the importance of staying connected to our origins while embracing the world with open arms. It has underscored the beauty of diversity and the strength of unity,” Parnaik added.

“Let us strive to make this festival an enduring tradition, a platform that continues to bridge the gap between the local and the global, the traditional and the contemporary,” the governor further added.
