Gharana Festival 2026: A Republic Day Rhapsody in Indian Classical Music

On 25th January, from 2 to 9 PM, the Gharana Festival 2026 transforms the C. D. Deshmukh Auditorium at India International Centre, New Delhi, into a sanctuary of sound and heritage. 

Presented by SWAR in celebration of India’s 77th Republic Day, this immersive musical confluence brings together maestros and disciples—Dr. Rindana Rahasya, Vidushi Chandrima Mazumdar, Pandit  Dipin Raj, Pandit   Sidhdharth Chatterjee, Pandit Santosh Nahar, Pandit  Ojesh Pratap Singh, Pandit  Abhay Rustum Sopori, and many more—each weaving their lineage into the fabric of India’s classical traditions. 

With evocative Group vocals, sitar, sarod, and tabla resonating in harmony, and anchored by the grace of Smt. Pratibha Sharma, the festival becomes a living archive of gharana wisdom.

Supported by NTPC and IndiaHive, this is not just a concert—it is a republic of rhythm, where music becomes the voice of cultural continuity.
