Sudhindra and Vijay said that people from diverse platforms like business houses and the government helped in achieving the objective of the festival, which is harmony through art.
Since the BIAF’s inception, artists from more than 25 countries have participated in this festival. The festival was conceived and envisaged keeping in mind the need for an international arts festival in the country. This has been carefully curated wherein different genres of art forms like dance, music, theatre, painting and folk art are presented.
This festival showcases world class performances by legendary artists in different fields, as well by upcoming artists of the next generation. Artists from different parts of India, Mauritius, Sri Lanka and UK are set to take part in the cultural extravaganza this year.
