South-Asia is a land of rich culture and heritage. For generations people have admired and practiced its pristine tradition and culture, which encompasses classical music and dance, folk music and theatre. Some of the world-famous traditional art forms like the Carnatic music, Hindustani music and dance forms like Bharatnatyam, Kuchipudi and Mohiniattam have originated and evolved in the colourful sub-continent i.e. India.
Continuing for the sixth year, Dhruv produced London International Arts Festival presenting 17 concerts and 3 workshops across five venues of London. This year’s festival is between 24th Nov & 1st Dec. Please visit the website to view event updates.
Dhruv Ensemble and choir have presented over thirty concerts in the last 5 years, creatively produced and directed by Jyotsna Srikanth, the artistic Director of Dhruv Arts.
can we reduce the header height? and insert Dhruv logo?
I’ll try to do that.. it involves a bit of artistic touch, as the original logo image does not blend with the current theme.
John,
Thanks – Site looks refreshing.,
The back ground image is good – but its a bit ‘noisy’
secondly – on the header its got overlaying of two sets of images.,
can we pls add the following [currently on the dhruvarts.org side] quick links to the right side frame?

Yup, will add those links.
I have added the links I thought reasonable. The others either blindly link to LIAF or do have any page associated with them.
tickets link to the right? http://aradhana.eventbrite.co.uk/
If you click on the scrolling advertisement, it already redirects to that site.
can you rename sub-page exam-corner to Examinations
done
thanks
can we have 2 columns like in the old-site, pls advise
I am not sure on this one. Column-wise information display is generally not used for portal websites. Mostly used for rapidly changing content e.g. news sites
