The vibrant voices of the vocalists, The soul stirring strains of Sitar, Santoor and Sarangi, The thundering sounds of Tabla and Pakhawaj, The cascading notes of Flute & Shehnai, The magic of Mohan Veena, The enchanting notes of Veena & Violin and The harmonious notes of Harmonium all have touched the souls of enlightened audiences at Shree Baba Harivallabh Sangeet Sammelan, year after year.

Started in 1875, Shree Baba Harivallabh Sangeet Sammelan has celebrated the magnificent tradition of Hindustani Classical Music for the last 137 years.

Drawing inspiration from Saint-musician - Baba Harivallabh, who started this Sangeet Sammelan in the memory of his Guru Swami Tulja Giri Ji, the Sangeet Sammelan has provided a platform where distinguished musicians could perform and give the best of their art and where anyone interested - initiated and uninitiated alike, could listen to them, free.
