Kolkata is set to witness a unique cultural experience as Mrigtrishna presents Kanha Ki Chitthi, described as India’s first-ever Katha Concert, on Sunday, September 13, 2026.
Blending the evocative art of katha with the power of live music, Kanha Ki Chitthi seeks to offer audiences a fresh and immersive way to experience storytelling. At its heart is the timeless world of Kanha (Krishna), brought alive through narrative, music, emotion and performance.
Unlike a conventional concert or traditional storytelling recital, a Katha Concert brings together the spoken word and musical expression to create an experience that is both intimate and theatrical. Kanha Ki Chitthi explores the emotional and philosophical dimensions of Krishna’s world while presenting them through a contemporary performance format.
The production by Mrigtrishna aims to bridge tradition and contemporary sensibilities, making India’s rich storytelling heritage accessible to a new generation while retaining the emotional depth and cultural essence of katha.
The event is scheduled for Sunday, September 13, 2026, in Kolkata.
With its distinctive format and focus on the intersection of storytelling and music, Kanha Ki Chitthi marks an ambitious new chapter in India’s live performing arts landscape.
