Kailash Kher: started ‘Bharatotsav’ tour in America
Padma Shri Kailash Kher is known for taking India’s rich culture and heritage to every corner of the world. Now he recently started the highly successful Bharatotsav 2024 USA Tour along with his band Kailasa. This tour has not only mesmerized the audiences of the United States but also highlighted the spiritual, folk and cultural depth of Indian music on a global platform.
The Bharatotsav tour kicked off with a grand special event of Ganesh Utsav in Seattle, where Kailash Kher‘s stellar performance kicked off a culturally immersive experience. The tour continued in Chicago, where he and Kailasa brought India’s folk music, art and handicrafts to a wide and engaged audience at the Swadeshi Kala Mela. As cultural ambassadors of India, they reinforced the importance of India’s artistic heritage.
Finally, the New York concert organised by the Indo-American Arts Council at Manhattan’s prestigious International House was the highlight of the tour. Organised in collaboration with the Consulate General of India in New York, the event showcased a celebration of Indian culture in one of the world’s greatest cities.
Talking about this prestigious honour, Kailash Kher said, ‘I am extremely honoured to receive this award from the New York State Assembly. This is not just an award for me, but an award for the beautiful and soulful culture of India, which we have taken to every corner of the world. I thank David Ira Weprin and the New York State Assembly from the bottom of my heart for this wonderful honour, which strengthens our resolve to spread the message of love, unity and spirituality through music.’
