Vrindavana Lila & Folk Arts
Traditional Vaishnava music, drama, and art celebrating the divine pastimes of Radha and Krishna in Vrindavana.
Art as Devotion
In the Vaishnava tradition, art is not merely entertainment — it is a form of devotional service. Music, dance, drama, and visual art can all be offered to Krishna and become a means of spiritual advancement.
ISKCON Kanpur hosts and supports traditional Vedic folk arts that have been preserved across generations — from the folk bhajans of Braj to the classical performances of Rasa Lila and Vrindavana Lila.
