About us

Since 2016, Kalashray, a cultural and social national organization, has been promoting Indian classical music and heritage.

Kalashray is a cultural organization dedicated to promoting India’s rich heritage. Our primary objective is to provide a platform for emerging artists to showcase their talents in Indian classical art forms, alongside renowned scholars.

We strive to make various Indian art forms accessible to the general public, ensuring our cultural legacy endures. This mission has been integral to our organization’s goals.

Over the years, we have organized numerous programs, including:

– A series of morning Raaga concerts, aimed at preserving the traditional morning and afternoon ragas from extinction.

– The Bhimsen Sangeet Samaroh, a tribute to Bharat Ratna Pandit Bhimsen Joshi, featuring talented young artists and esteemed musicians
like Padmabhushan Pandit Vishwamohan Bhatt and others from across India.

Our Mission

Kalashray aims to promote Indian traditional folk arts, especially Indian classical music, by providing widespread publicity and supporting young talent through the gurukul system. Additionally, we propagate morning raagas through musical mornings of Indian classical music.

To recognize outstanding contributions to the art, culture and literature we confer the Saraswati Sadhna Samman, in memory of Padma Vibhushan Gaan Saraswati Kishori Amonkar.

Furthermore, we organize the annual Bhimsen Sangeet Samaroh in memory of Bharat Ratna Bhimsen Joshi.

We also conduct art camps and workshops, titled “Nurturing the Culture,“ for fellowship students to receive guidance and blessings from learned Gurus.

Our Vision

Kalashray is committed to establishing a modern Gurukul that combines traditional values with modern technology. Renowned personalities from various fine arts disciplines, including music, art, literature, and theatre, will impart training to research scholars following the ancient Guru-Shishya parampara.

Our institution will also leverage modern technical ways of education to provide a holistic learning experience.

Students will benefit from one-to-one sessions with their mentors, facilitating personalized guidance and growth.
