Modhera Dance Festival - Gujarat

Getting its name from the Sun, this festival is a holy tribute to the Sun God. After the Uttarayan, the Sun gets into the scorching summer days, Modhera Dance Festival celebrates just that. The architecture of the Sun Temple of Modhera absorbs sunlight in the best possible way to produce a divine vibe all over the shrine.

Uttarardh Mahotsav is the older name of Modhera Dance Festival and was a grandeur treasure cove of the Solanki Empire. Combining the cultural heritage of Gujarat, all the colourful dance, music, and art forms of India are performed with grace by the performers. The noteworthy backdrop of the temple elevates the event to imposing heights, taking the class of Indian artforms to the next level. Men in their dhoti kurta and women dolled up in Chaniya choli are a treat to watch with explainers from the temple guide.
