Kuala Lumpur-based Sutra Foundation presented its newly-published book on a famous Indian religious festival in three cities in India.

The Kumbh Mela book is inspired by a performance of Malaysia’s leading exponent of the Odissi Indian classical dance Datuk Ramli Ibrahim and his team of dancers gave at the 2019 Kumbh congregation in Prayagraj city, formerly known as Allahabad, in the state of Uttar Pradesh.
