Buddha Festival 2012 in Nagpur From Jan. 26–29

Nagpur Buddhist Centre (NBC), a unit of Triratna Boudha Mahasanga will organize Buddha Festival 2012 from January 26–29, 2012 at Deekshabhoomi, Nagpur, Maharashtra.

The attraction for this festival's archaic ambience would be a 50-feet high structure, which is conceptualized by artist and stage designer Digambar Bagde. The structure will resemble the statue of Buddha in Bodhgaya, Bihar.

The theme for the event runs around life of Buddha, based on which artists from Mumbai, Lucknow and Ujjain will present cultural programs. Scintillating collection of paintings and sculptures of Buddha by Dilip Wankhede will be exhibited.

The youth rock Band Dhamma Wings will electrify the audiences with their mystical performance at the Buddha Festival 2012. The contemporary trend of rock music will be blended with the Buddhist culture and heritage in a three-hour show in the four-day Buddha Festival at Nagpur.
