The Gowri Creations will conduct a year-long Mohiniyattam workshop for budding dancers from the State.
The workshops will be held in all districts with the objective of creating a better cultural awareness through the classical art form.

Assembly Speaker M.B. Rajesh will inaugurate the workshop series at Thiruvananthapuram on Friday.
