Emily Wax talks about this Kennedy Center Festival in the Washington Post http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2011/02/25/AR2011022505585.html and gives you a choice of progams to see.. Looks like an interesting to-do for you in the Washington Dc area.
March 1-20, 2011, maximum INDIA brings you perhaps not a million, but many wonderful and unusual aspects of the country's diverse arts and culture, from folkloric to classical and contemporary. It will surprise and delight you with dance, music, and theater performed by India's most acclaimed artists. Film selections from the world's most robust movie industry, featuring both indie and Bollywood films; prize-winning authors reading, debating, conversing, and sharing their insights; exhibitions that astonish and confront; incredible and unimaginable crafts from exquisite collections; jewels that dazzle from the princely era of the Mughals and Maharajas. And, to top it all, feasts of Indian food for the entire three-week period of the festival, prepared by 12 world-class, award-winning Indian chefs, representing all regions of the country.
India amazes with the majesty and mystery of its culture. Its brilliance is that it is a country of extremes—intellect, innovation, survival, and experimentation. We have traveled, researched, and scoured the country for the best it can offer, and India offers the maximum. This festival will truly be maximum INDIA

I’m one of the lucky ones who enjoyed the India Festival last year. The atmosphere was great. Everyone left with uplifted spirits, and smiles on their faces.
