Patla Sambhrama 2017

Building a Brighter Tomorrow: The Legacy of Service
at the 3rd Patla Sambhrama

The 3rd Patla Sambhrama, held on May 28th, 2017, transcended mere celebration; it stood as a testament to the unwavering commitment of the Yakshadhruva Patla Foundation to its artists. The Gerukatte Gangayya Shetty Stage at Adyar Garden was immersed in grandeur.

Art, Aid, and Awards

In just 1.5 months, the Foundation executed 10 impactful service projects, surpassing a value of 50 lakhs. From financial aid for disabled artists and families of deceased ones to life insurance schemes and scholarships for talented children, these initiatives reached the heart of the Yakshagana community. They provided not only immediate relief but also laid the foundation for a brighter future. A free medical camp for Yakshagana artists and their family members, along with a blood donation drive for Trust members and Yakshagana fans was organised.
The prestigious Yakshadhruva Patla Prashasti was bestowed upon the renowned Bhagavata Balipa Narayan. His recognition served as a beacon of inspiration for aspiring artists, while the overall event showcased the Foundation’s dedication to nurturing and sustaining this vibrant art form.
Special performances featured a comedy spectacle, “Aditya Manjari,” and the intriguing “Veerochana Kalaga.”
The Patla Trust extended a heartfelt tribute to the late and esteemed Yakshagana artist, Gerukatte Gangadhara Shetty, by offering financial assistance of 2.5 lakh rupees to support his family.

Bhagavat Balipa Narayana was honored with the prestigious Yakshadhruva Patla Award, accompanied by a prize of 1 lakh rupees.
