At the Jhulna Utsav, Madhura Deshpande from Pune performed Kathak. Her performance was truly captivating. She started with the complex Teentaal, demonstrating the technical finesse of Kathak through compositions such as Damru Paran, Durga Kavitt, and Ghode ki Paran. Her performance of these pieces garnered significant attention from the audience. She concluded the Teentaal segment with "Barish ki Tatkar," transitioning seamlessly into the abhinay portion. In this segment, she performed Draupadi Vastraharan, beginning with the Dyut game played by the Kauravas and Pandavas. Her portrayal was outstanding, leaving the audience spellbound and deeply moved.
