Red Lotus Events, is run by Pritee Varsani and Mira Salat. Two ambitious individuals striving to make each event unforgettable. Having over 20 years of event experience between them, they work together to meet the needs and requests of their clients with absolute professionalism. The passionate team is strong in their own rights, as individuals, Pritee an international Vocalist, specialising in Gujarati folk music and Mira an accredited dancer, specialising in the classical art form of Kathak, they identify with quality and deliver nothing less

On 18th March 2012 - Red Lotus Events launched there first stage show ‘Swaraj-Our Birthright’. This unique event was to commemorate the sacrifices made by the freedom fighters for the Independence of India. Over the period of 3 months forty individuals (supermarket employees, mechanics, students) varying in ages from 7 - 58 were trained in dance and drama to depict the eye opening story. The participants were educated on the history of the 4 main characters, Rani Laxmi Bai, Mangal Pandey, Bhagat Singh and Gandhi. The Dance Drama was performed at the Watford Colosseum, which opened with an hour of orchestral music with over 10 musicians, chorus and two singers, who depicted emotions to set the scene for the second half of the evening which was the Dance drama. Below is a small clip of the dance drama. Swaraj-Our Birth Right

Every January from 2014 Red Lotus Events present, Sur Dhara. A musical evening open for all, providing free entry and free food (through sponsorship). This Event provides spiritual/devotional music, with an element of innovation each time, the first year was traditional Indian music with Jazz, second year was spiritual soul songs with all acoustic Indian Instruments and 2016 we presented devotional music with a string quartet. We’ve found over the three years that the Sur dhara event is attracting more and more youth each year, getting them more involved and interested in the arts, opening their minds up to new possibilities with music, and starting the year off through a musical stream of meditation. Marafiki Watu - Friends of Folk was Presented at the Watersmeet Theatre on 31st May 2015. A collaboration made of East African Folk and West Indian (Gujarati) folk music and dance. The popular event, combined the instruments of both regions, and the dance styles to create and explosion of colour on the stage. Gujarati and African musicians worked together to innovate new ideas over the period of just 2 months, where songs were sung in both languages, the music was synced for the dancers to perform live. The nine nights of Navratri, is an Gujarat Festival that celebrated throughout the world. People come together within their community organisations, to dance and chant throughout the nine nights. Unfortunately now the authentic music that was custom to these nights have now been plastered by Bollywood songs throughout, when Red Lotus Researched we found this to be a tool for which the 1st generation use to attract the youth to their cultural base. Red Lotus Events, sought out to bring back the authentic music which was custom and started organising Navrangi Navratri (colourful Navratri). Our nine nights, open the doors to people of all backgrounds, with no cast or community barriers our navratri is truly colourful. The popularity has also grown within the youth because of this difference that sets us apart from the others, and we found that the true culture presented correctly, doesn't need the shoulder of Bollywood to rely on. Running for over three years the popularity of the authentic music has grown so much that this year we are running together with Brent Council for a larger venue. When surveying the crowd, they find the music that Red Lotus Events provide is the main attraction, alongside the atmosphere created and the hospitable welcome to all that arrive. We host on an average of 500 people every night for nine nights.

Sur Dhara: The Echo of the Spirits

Join us for a deeply moving afternoon of music, dance, and remembrance at Sur Dhara: The Echo of the Spirits.

This annual event, hosted by Red Lotus Events CIC, is a heartfelt tribute to our lost loved ones, a spiritual journey that blends the sacred traditions of Indian and African music to awaken ancestral bonds and heal through melody.

At the heart of the performance is a rich fusion of Indian classical music, timeless poetry, and the wisdom of the ages, interwoven with the vibrant rhythms and melodies of Africa. This year, we invite you to experience the warmth and depth of both cultures as they come together in a celebration of life, love, and remembrance.

*Sur Dhara* promises to take you on a soulful journey, where the music guides the heart, and the dances uplift the spirit.
