120-women group leaves for Agra to perform ‘Shiv Gatha’

VASCO

Vasco MLA Krishna Salkar on Wednesday afternoon flagged off a 120-women group at the Vasco railway station as they departed for Agra to perform Shiv Gatha, a play depicting the life of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, in commemoration of Shiv Chaturya Din. The group, representing the Kala Shakti Dance Institute, Cortalim, will stage an all-women drama centred on the historic escape of Shivaji Maharaj, marking the celebration of Shiv Chaturya Diwas at Agra. Speaking to the media, Salkar expressed pride over the group’s achievement. “It is a proud and historic moment for Mormugao taluka to have our women perform on such a grand stage in Agra. This is not just a performance, but a fitting tribute to the great Maratha king,” he said. Salkar lauded the dedication and effort of the women participants, calling the opportunity “a significant cultural milestone” for Goa.
