A HOST of cultural and literary events have been lined up as part of a children's youth festival starting next month.
Indian singers Arun Govind and Preeti Warrier will fly to Bahrain to perform at Balakalotsavam 2011.
Forty cultural and literary events will take place at the Bahrain Keraleeya Samajam (BKS) in Manama.
They will range from five to 12 minutes and comprise traditional and folk dances, speeches and poetry recitations, story-telling, story-writing, a fancy dress competition and mono acting.
Organisers said more than 2,200 entries had been received and 550 participants already registered.
Entrants will be divided into five age groups, ranging from five to 16.
Group championship awards will be given to the three best groups and the top scoring boy and girl will be presented with the Kalathilakam and Kalaprathiba award.
The month-long event will begin on June 3 and then take a break before resuming in September.
Details were unveiled during a Press conference at the BKS yesterday.
Indian Ambassador Mohan Kumar was chief guest and Padmasree Ravi Pillai and Prakash Devji of Devji Group of Jewellers, who are the main sponsors of the event, guests of honour.
It is being organised by a 15-member Balakalotsavam committee, headed by chief convener Manoj Mathew.
Balakalotsavam is one of the most prestigious events in the BKS calendar and is organised to bring out the hidden talents of children and encourage them to discover their potential.
