Sanskrit, its versions in other Indian languages, traditional theatrical dance forms, ballets and dance recitals.
Another attraction of this festival is the National Kalidasa Exhibition. The exhibits are required to be portrayed in traditional Indian styled painting and sculpture style or traditional Indian folk art style.
