VIJAYAPURA: A Navarathri event held at Shahu Nagar on Thursday night featured inappropriate dances that made many in the audience uncomfortable, with about half of them leaving early.
Organized by the Swagat Adishakti Tarun Mandali, the event included a Lavani performance—a traditional folk dance from Maharashtra—by a visiting cultural troupe. However, the suggestive movements of the dancers failed to resonate with the spectators.
Attendees expressed concern that the celebration, which typically honors Goddess Durga with an idol displayed on stage, was marred by the indecorous performances this year.
