Faces of India – 329, Harshdeep Kaur at Barsur Festival

She is Harshdeep Kaur, a popular singer.

I could not meet her personally. I took this picture from a distance when Harshdeep Kaur was performing on stage for Barsur festival (barsoor mahotsav) in Dantewada, Chhattisgarh.

Faces of India

a series through which I intend to portray the various characters of my country whom I met during my travels. I bring back souvenirs, frozen moments from my travels, why not some memories of people I have met and interacted during the travels. Faces of India is a weekly series in my blog since MARCH 2011.

Harshdeep Kaur at Barsur Festival Dantewada

She is famous for her Sufi genre songs. Born in 1986, she has achieved a lot in music industry. She is popular among the masses in Pakistan too.  I tried to frame her with her own image.

Barsoor Mahotsav

This festival was first held in 2012. But due to drought and certain financial constraints it could not be conducted for the last four years. There were other cultural events too but Harshdeep’s songs were the crowd puller. People were up on their feet, swaying as she kept churning out one song after another.

Here is a small clipping to her song she sang for her audience in Dantewada.
