The program will be organized under the guidance of Dr. Aravinda Upadhyaya, president of the USA unit of the trust, along with Dr. Sridhar Alva, Mahabala Shetty, and Uli Yogendra Bhatt. The team will perform a selection of mythological stories and hold short training camps and demonstrations at various locations.
The team includes prominent artists such as Padmanabha Upadhyaya, Chaitanya Krishna Padyana, Prof. ML Samaga, Harinarayan Bhat Edaneeru, Chandrasekhara Dharmasthala, Mahesh Maniyani, Prashant Nelyadi, and Mohana Bellipadi. The tour will be supported by Puttige Matha, members of the Kannada group, Yakshagana Sangh members, temples, and various organizations. Additionally, the team will participate in the ‘Akka’ conference, which is held in the US every two years.
The tour will cover performances in 20 cities across the US, including San Jose, Seattle, Phoenix, Los Angeles, Austin, Houston, Detroit, Janesville, Maryland, Tampa, Milwaukee, Charlotte, Raleigh, Edison, Columbus, Boston, Orlando, Atlanta, Chicago, Dallas, New Jersey, and Richmond.
