# Bargarh Dhanu Yatra artiste selection begins, medical certificate must 2026-11-02T00:01:07+00:00 | India | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet The selection of artistes for the 2026-27 Bargarh Dhanu Yatra has begun, with the Dhanu Yatra Mahotsav Committee inviting applications from interested candidates. Applications will be accepted from 1 November to 15 November, and aspiring performers, including those seeking the iconic role of Kansa, must apply within the deadline. Application forms and details are available on the Bargarh district administration website and the dedicated Dhanu Yatra website. Candidates will be selected through auditions, with the venue, date and timing communicated by phone, WhatsApp or email. The notification sets age limits, qualifications and eligibility conditions, and makes a medical fitness certificate mandatory. The committee has urged artistes to apply within the prescribed timeline. ## Indian Opinion Analysis The notification makes auditions and a medical fitness certificate compulsory, tightening entry into a festival that draws large crowds and requires physically demanding performances. The 15 November deadline gives aspirants two weeks to gather documents, including the fitness certificate, which could filter out applicants with health conditions. The committee has not yet disclosed audition dates, so applicants face uncertainty about scheduling after they submit. The district administration's website becomes the single official channel for forms and updates, centralising information for candidates. The outcome will be measured by how many applicants clear both the eligibility checks and the auditions before the festival opens. ## Coverage - sambadenglish.com Straight announcement of application process with no slant.
