Dear Richmond Kannadigas,
RKS executive committee would like to invite you and your family to Deepavali & Kannada Rajyostava 2023 celebrations to be held on Saturday, 2nd December 2023.
Based on your response to our Ugadi program, we are excited to bring new artists to entertain our Richmond Kannadigas. This time we are bringing in famous Kannada artists Namitha Rao & Vikram Suri, who have performed dance & dramas around the world, played key roles in well known Kannada TV serials [Silli Lalli, Paapa Pandu, Mayamruga] and also produced/directed Kannada movie "Chowka Bara" which was released earlier this year and has IMDb rating of 8.4/10. Namitha and Suri will be performing comedy drama called "Lockout Alla Nockout" and dance drama called "Punyakoti" with some of the artists from Richmond Kananda Sangha. We have also lined up other interesting programs for your full entertainment. We look forward to yet another memorable celebration.
