The first two recitals were staged was at the prestigious Durban venue - Izulu Theatre, Sibiya. Audiences were treated to spectacular performances from the artists. The Master of Ceremony, Mr Kiru Naidoo a political analyst, took the audience through a once in a lifetime opportunity to see the great legends, the Dhananjayans, perform. Sri VP Dhananjayan introduced each item before it was performed, so that the audience may have some understanding of what they will experience. We had a full house on both the nights but we all will agree that the audience of Saturday night were outstanding. They really gave Dhananjayan Master the response he greatly enjoys. A fantastic, stimulating audience.

On both the evenings, the Dhananjayans were again honoured with plaques by, Mr Ashwin Trikamjee, President of the South African Hindu Maha Saba and Dr TP Naidoo of the Indian Academy. Deputy Mayor Logie Naidoo also had the opportunity to welcome these great artists to our shores and appropriately gave them a warm Durban welcome and shared his sentiments of all, that it was Durban’s honour to host them.
