The LNJ Bhilwara Group is proud to announce the return of its premier Indian classical music festival, Bhilwara Sur Sangam, for its 13th edition. The two-day cultural landmark will be held at the Kamani Auditorium, Copernicus Marg, on April 4 and 5, 2026. Established as a cornerstone of the capital’s cultural calendar, the festival continues its mission of celebrating India’s profound musical heritage by providing a prestigious platform for both Hindustani and Carnatic traditions. This year’s curation promises an immersive experience of raga-based performances, further solidifying the event’s reputation for bringing together the country’s most distinguished vocalists and instrumentalists.
The festival’s opening evening on April 4, starting at 6:00 PM, will feature a diverse lineup beginning with the evocative vocals of Shri Bhagyesh Marathe. The program will then move into a brilliant instrumental showcase featuring the celebrated Saraswathi Veena exponent Dr. Jayanthi Kumaresh. On the second day, April 5, beginning at 5:30 PM, the evening will open with a sitar recital by Shri Samanway Sarkar, followed by a much-anticipated vocal performance by the legendary Pt. Mukul Shivputra. Known for his profound mastery of the khayal tradition, Pt. Shivputra’s presentation is expected to be a highlight for connoisseurs seeking depth and spiritual resonance in classical music.
