Kumar Gandharva Samaroh

The event has been organised by Ustaad Alauddin Khan Sangeet Acadamy (Department of Culture, MP) and District Administration Dewas.   Dewas is the birthplace of Kumar Gandharva Samaroh.  Every year on  his birth anniversar i.e  8th April Kumar, the  Gandharva Samaroh is organised. This has been happening   since 1992-93. The festival is to cherish his memory and offer a musical tribute to the great classical vocalist of our time. Besides the most magical music style of folk-classical vocal blend of late Shri Kumar Gandharva, a good number of well-established and talented young artists also perform and exhibit their music talent. Till date a number of great music performers and singers have participated in the Samaroh making it a great musical event of the country. To celebrate the 75th birth anniversary of Pandit Kumar Gandharva, a chain of music programs were held throughout the year in various towns a few years ago, which has earned great success. This Samaroh of the academy has become most prestigious and countrywide famous.
