Ravindra Bharati is all set to reopen on February 7, 10 months after its closure. The auditorium of Ravindra Bharati was closed to the public due to the Covid pandemic. M Harikrishna, director of department of language and culture said that they were awaiting the Covid guidelines from the government before taking a call on 100 per cent occupancy of auditoriums.

In addition to the programmes, offline performances will also be continued after the auditorium is opened. Harikrishna said that they were initially



hesitant to conduct online classes and shows, however, the classes had a massive response from the audience.
