NAUJAWAAN Utsav 5 – Sanskar Shakti (The power of culture) will this time around focus on issues surrounding mental health, raising awareness of current social issues and sending positive messages, especially to youths.

Members of the Dharmic Naujawaan saw it fit to pursue a production that would shed light on the importance of culture and how it can positively impact mental health.

The show which is on tomorrow at the Dharmic Kendra, will give youths across the country a platform to showcase their love for the arts through dance, song and poetry.

“Sanskar Shakti signifies the power of culture, specifically embodied by Hinduism. In a time where cultural erosion and religious degradation is increasing in society, the importance of understanding our culture, its creation, preservation and ability to influence our being is evidentially crucial,” Chairperson of the Central Naujawaan, Anjeli Surujpaul, told Buzz this week.

Patrons can look forward to an evening of delicious Indian cuisine and a show packed with talent, drama, and laughter.

Naujawaan Utsav started in 2016 and has been an annual event up until the COVID-19 pandemic.

This year, the show will focus on mental well-being and cultural preservation with a cast made up of members from Naujawaan groups across the country, including Berbice, Essequibo and West Coast Demerara.

Dinner will be served at 18:00 hours and the show will start at 19:00 hours.

Tickets are available at the Dharmic Kendra or persons can contact Latchman on 614-5502 or Venika on 667-0875.
