Soorya festival is the longest and one of the most prestigious cultural events in India – conducted annually and now lasting for more than a hundred days in which the finest and most accomplished artists in Indian classical dances and music participate.

This year’s festival concluded on 10 October, with a dance recital by the famous film and classical dance personality Ms Shobana. In connection with the World Palliative Care Day, that day’s program was dedicated to Palliative Care. Speaking on behalf of Pallium India, Dr Baburaj Chakrapani introduced palliative care to the audience with a video and slide show. The audience listened, spell-bound.
