The program was organized by KalaKadamba, a Cultural Organization to pay tribute to Late Kalinga Navuda, who was a great "Bhaagavataru" at his time with his melodious and different singing style in Yakshagana. Unfortunately, he passed away in his young age before which he made a big name for himself, and even today, after 30 years of his demise, people pay tribute and an award instituted in his name. It's called "Kalinga Navuda Prashasthi". awarded to a distinguished personality in Yakshagana.
This year award was presented to Sridhar Hebbar, a senior Yakshagana Artist.
After the award ceremony and speeches about Kalinga Navuda, Yakshagana prasanga "KHANDAVA DAHANA" by distinguished artists.
Khadava Dahana Story from Mahabharatha. Once upon a time, Agni Devaru (FireGod) had indigestion due to excessive offerings and comes to Shwethaki Maharaja and requests him engulf Khandava forest to subdue his indigestion. The Maharaja refuses as it is under the care of someone else. Agni Deva goes to Arjuna and with help of Krishna, Shwethaki Maharaja was forced to allow AgniDeva to engulf (Dahana) Khandava Forest.
There is a beautiful dance sequence by Prince Kalindi, who wants to marry Krishna when she sees him with Arjuna. and the number of dances for songs beautifully rendered by Hosthota Manjunatha Bhagavatharu.
