Gopal Natika Purshottam Nagar

Gopal Natika Purshottam Nagar is situated in Dayal Bagh. We are over in the Veer Nagar Sec-2 area of Agra. It is a quiet place mostly, until we start our rehearsals for a performance. We do traditional drama and stage stuff like that. Most of us have lived in Agra for a long time. We know the lanes of Purshottam Nagar like the back of our hand. It is not a huge operation at all. We just have our costumes and the stage stuff kept in a small space. Sometimes we practice until it gets dark outside. The neighbors don't seem to mind too much since they know us. We try to keep things simple. We do not have a marketing department or anything like that. If people like what we do on stage, they tell their cousins or their friends. That is how we get most of our work. Dayal Bagh is a nice part of town to be in. We have been doing this for a long time now. Some of the younger guys are learning the ropes from the older members of the group. It takes a lot of time to get the movements right. We don't claim to be the biggest group in Agra. We just enjoy the art and being part of the community here. The costumes need a lot of washing and fixing after every single show. It keeps us quite busy.
