The Shriram Shankarlal Music Festival will run from March 27 to March 29 at the Shriram Bharatiya Kala Kendra Lawns. It is one of the oldest in the country that celebrates Indian Classical Music by presenting extraordinary performances by legends and blooming talent in the realm.

Through Shriram Shankarlal Music Festival, the Kendra has made a mark for itself in the arena of performing arts and has been nurturing its basic ideology of binding rich Indian traditions onto the wings of current generation as it paces through the clouds of materialism.

“This year’s edition of Shriram Shankarlal Music Festival fills me with immense pride. We have the privilege of experiencing the mastery of veterans alongside the brilliance of younger artists. It’s a testament to the vibrant legacy of our cultural heritage,” she added.
