This is the 13^th edition of the music festival.

This music festival has gained fame and popularity among music lovers.

The Swara Samrat Festival is organized by Pt Tejendra Narayan Majumdar and his family every year. The festival has been named after his musical Guru, Ali Akbar Khan.

According to Pt Tejendra Narayan Majumdar, not only seasoned musicians but new musicians also get a platform to showcase their musical skills. He regretted that Ud Zakir Hussain passed away on the day he was scheduled to play at the festival. A tribute to Ud Zakir Hussain will be performed at the musical festival.

Some of the performers at the three-day music festival include Pt. Swapan Chaudhuri, Pt. Tejendra Narayan Majumdar, Kavita Krishnamurthy, Pt. Tanmoy Bose, Sujata Mohapatra, Pt. Ajay Joglekar, Pt. Jayateerth Mevundi, Pt. Ulhas Kashalkar, and many more.

Pt Bickram Ghosh said, “If you look through history, the longest-standing art form is Indian classical music. It has not faded, nor become less important. After the pandemic, most shows on Indian classical music witnessed packed audiences. Indian classical music has never been threatened by the advent of Ghazals, rock, pop music, film music, and other forms of music. Instead, it has grown more popular even in recent times. So do not underestimate the power of Indian classical music”.
