The festival, called Nepal Sadvabana Natya Aayojan, started from Friday. According to the director of the academy, Waman Kendre, they decided to organise the

festival as soon as they came to know about the disaster that struck Nepal. According to the organisers, the money collected from the festival will go to the PM Relief Fund.

Throughout the festival, actors from the institution will be staging plays by 12 renowned Indian theatre artists and directors.

Tickets for the plays have been priced at IRs 500 and IRs 250 respectively.
