Gadchiroli: Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis will participate in the two-day Bhagwan Birsa Kala Sangam 2026 Maha Adivasi Cultural Festival scheduled for Saturday and Sunday in Gadchiroli. Organised by the Maharashtra government Tribal Development Department at the District Sports Complex, the grand cultural gathering will showcase authentic tribal arts, live stage performances, and heritage exhibitions.
According to festival organisers, the state-level celebration commemorates the birth anniversary of tribal freedom fighter Bhagwan Birsa Munda and marks Janjatiya Gaurav Diwas. Titled Bhagwan Birsa Kala Sangam 2.0, the programme is designed to spotlight Maharashtra rich tribal heritage through traditional dance, folk singing, instrumental music, and diverse indigenous art forms.
The opening day on Saturday will feature vibrant performances blending traditional and modern digital tribal arts from 10 am to 5 pm. Simultaneously, a comprehensive exhibition detailing tribal culture, ancestral deities, and sacred worship rituals will remain open from 10 am to 8 pm, offering visitors an immersive experience into indigenous community traditions.
Adding dramatic flair to the evening schedule, a special theatrical production titled Van Garjana, The Story of Rani Durgavati and Birsa Munda, will be staged from 6 pm onwards while the cultural exhibition continues alongside.
On Sunday, a special public programme will be held to celebrate Janjatiya Gaurav Diwas. Prime Minister Narendra Modi will join the proceedings virtually, while Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis will attend in person as the chief guest. Beyond stage performances and theatre, the two-day festival encompasses a state-level art competition and commemorative events dedicated to honouring tribal performers and preserving their ancestral traditions.
Bringing numerous folk art forms together under one roof, organisers have extended an open invitation to the public to attend with their families and celebrate the vital role played by tribal artists in keeping Maharashtra cultural legacy alive.
