The 146th Baba Harivallabh Sangeet Sammelan was recently hosted from December 24 to 26 in Jalandhar. The first festival was held in 1875, and since then the festival is being held every year with the main objective of encouraging more and more people for the development of classical Music. The festival was held at the samadhi of Baba Harivallabh (Harballabh) – a saint and an exponent of Hindustani Classical Music. Declared as one of the National Festivals by the Department of Tourism, Government of India, the festival has been attended by Mahatma Gandhi and Pandit Vishnu Digambar Paluskar in past decades.
Our own Bade Guruji Pt Ronu Majumdar, along with Shehnai maestro Vikas Babu, and dhrupad exponent Uday Bhawalkar, performed at the festival this year. Enjoy the coverage of Guruji’s flute recital in the festival. Please definitely not miss the ‘heer’ piece depicting sorrow at 56:50
