On
its own Delhi would probably not support much in terms of entertainment
except maybe some kathak-mujra and bhangda, but the government's
generous grants ensure there's some activity in diverse fields.
The various central government institutions do their bit all round
the year, organising some seminar, show, exhibition, discussion,
etc. something or the other all the year round. The bureaucratic
orientation is very strongly marked, but since it is all for free,
no one complains, instead they duly attend the shows and soak
up culture.
Classical
visual and performing arts including all forms and schools of
classical dance and music are a regular at a host of auditoriums
including, Kamani Auditorium, Triveni Kala Sangam, The India International
Center and Pragati Maidan. The annual national film festival and
the bi-annual international film festival held in January at the
Siri Fort Complex, are eagerly awaited events.
Theater
is also a popular form of recreation in Delhi with the influence
of the National School of Drama. Delhi also has some of the country's
finest museums in the country. The various embassies and cultural
centers of different countries in Delhi contribute to the cultural
scene.
There
are several discos in Delhi: some of the well known ones are
Annabelles
