History of Firodia Karandak
History of Firodia Karandak
Starting back in 1974, as the brainchild of Suryakant Kulkarni, the main aim of FIRODIA KARANDAK has been to give a platform to college students for them to showcase their artistic musings for the last 46 years. Nothing on stage is pre-recorded or taped. Everything is live. Be it songs, music pieces, dances, or even on-the-spot improvisations, everything is done on the wooden platform in person. If anyone is found using any alternate methods, the entire college team is immediately disqualified. The whole idea behind Firodia Karandak is- ‘Cinema on Stage’ wherein everything needs to be performed live.” To help children develop their artistic skills and be confident in expressing themselves.
About Firodia Karandak
The competition slowly evolved from being just a drama competition to one with elements like sculpture, pottery, painting, orchestra, puppet dancing, and a host of other such events, were incorporated. Moreover, Students from Engineering colleges started incorporating the usage of electronic gadgets like LCD projectors for shadow plays, high-end amplifiers for their sound systems, and other technological advances, which gave them an edge over their competitors. Every team is given a time period of one hour, in which 15 minutes are given for setting up the props, the lights, the orchestra, the sound systems, and all their paraphernalia. After which, they are given 45 minutes to showcase their play. The length of the play must not exceed 45 minutes, or shorter than 30 minutes. The Teams are disqualified if they fail to stick to these time restrictions.
