Shastriya Sangeet: The Heart-beat of India

The Shastiya Sangeet museorial is an attempt to revive and celebrate this beautiful art form of Indian Classical Music. Situated in the heart of India, on the Assi ghat of Banaras, this museorial is a musical journey in itself. The journey begins on a slow note and picks up the pace along the path, just like a 'bandish' of a 'raga'. The idea is to sensitize one to the sounds of nature and develop an understanding of this timeless art form so much so as to start finding the rhythm and tune in the walk of everyday life.
