VENUES
Set along the Mandovi River in Panaji, our venues are chosen for their
history, beauty, and cultural
relevance. Each space is reimagined to bring
audiences closer to the arts — transforming the
riverfront into a buzzing
cultural hub, accessible to all.
Kala Academy
Kala Academy, built by Charles Correa, is a landmark of architectural, cultural, and social significance – one of the only institutions in India offering a diverse range of courses across Western, classical, and interdisciplinary arts. As the cultural nerve centre of Panjim, it becomes a key festival venue for us to showcase powerful music, dance, and theatre performances by both Indian and international artists, all set against the stunning backdrop of the Academy’s iconic columns, pergolas, and riverfront setting.
The academy also offers you to walk into history and play Chaupad, the life-sized Indian board game once only reserved for kings! Then, explore an exhibition that traces the culinary and cultural past of salt. This venue is a must-visit spot for anyone with a passion for history and performances.
