The event is co-organized by Mr. Vimal Srivastava, Managing Director of Ignite Media and Entertainment Ltd., whose vision and leadership aim to amplify India’s cultural heritage on a global platform.

As part of World Sarangi Day 2025, Ustad Sabri Khan Memorial Awards will be presented to outstanding personalities who have made immense contributions to the promotion of Indian Classical Music, Arts, and Culture. These awards will recognize lifelong dedication, artistic excellence, and significant impact in preserving and promoting India’s cultural legacy.

World Sarangi Day 2025 will bring together musicians, scholars, cultural institutions, and audiences worldwide to celebrate the sarangi’s rich heritage, its evolution, and its continuing relevance. The day aspires to become an annual global observance, honoring the instrument that has voiced India’s deepest emotions for centuries.

This historic initiative stands as a tribute not only to Ustad Sabri Khan Sahab, but also to India’s enduring musical soul—uniting tradition, freedom, and global cultural harmony through the timeless voice of the sarangi.

Worli Redevelopment Thrown Into Turmoil as SRA Action Rekindles Decades-Old Uncertainty.

A long-delayed slum redevelopment project in Mumbai’s Worli, offering hope to nearly 2,500 families after almost three decades, has been thrown back into uncertainty by sudden administrative action. Despite securing all statutory approvals in October 2024 and commencement of on-ground construction, SRA CEO issued a Section 13(2) notice seeking removal of the developer mid-project.

The timing and absence of transparent justification have alarmed residents, already scarred by years of stalled promises. Allegations of coercive pressure and financial impropriety have deepened concern, prompting appeals to Devabhau, Hon’ble CM for urgent intervention to uphold due process and prevent another generational betrayal of rehabilitation rights.

A promising new voice in cinema, Isha Chhabra, a filmmaking student from the United States, has made a striking impression with her latest directorial project — the visually stunning music video Gulistan Chale, directed and featured by Isha Chhabra herself, with music composed, sung, and written by the legendary A.R. Rahman.

The video, now streaming on Global Glow Films’ YouTube Channel, beautifully captures a blend of emotion, storytelling, and melody — seamlessly weaving together Isha’s refined cinematic sensibility and Rahman’s soulful soundscape. With its expressive visuals and deeply evocative tone, Gulistan Chale is already earning praise for its artistic maturity and emotional depth.

What makes this project stand out is Isha Chhabra’s ability to convey raw human emotions through visual poetry — a skill she continues to hone while studying filmography in the USA. Despite being a student filmmaker, her direction and on-screen performance reflect remarkable confidence, aesthetic precision, and a strong understanding of rhythm and emotion in visual storytelling.

Speaking about her inspiration, Isha Chhabra shared,

“This project was born out of my desire to tell stories through emotion rather than dialogue. Working both behind and in front of the camera was a rewarding challenge. A.R. Rahman’s music gave life to every frame, making this experience unforgettable. I am so thankful to ARR for the guidance and grateful to be a part of such a beautiful song by ARR, produced by Global Glow Films. My journey studying filmmaking in the USA has allowed me to explore storytelling from a global lens.”

Music maestro A.R. Rahman, who composed, sang, and penned the lyrics for Gulistan Chale, brings his signature emotional depth to the project. His haunting melodies and introspective words infuse the film with soul, elevating it beyond a conventional music video into a moving cinematic experience.

The collaboration between Isha Chhabra and A.R. Rahman marks the meeting of two creative minds — one bringing fresh cinematic vision, the other timeless musical mastery — unified by emotion and artistry.

With Gulistan Chale, Isha Chhabra establishes herself as one of the most exciting young filmmaker-actors to watch — blending her international training with heartfelt Indian storytelling. Her work signals a bright future, where new-age creators merge global aesthetics with the emotional essence of Indian cinema.

The video Gulistan Chale is now live on YouTube (Global Glow Films) and is quickly gaining attention for its emotional resonance and visual artistry — marking a beautiful debut for a filmmaker who’s just getting started.

Nadamrutham By Kalashri Dr Lata Surendra, Nmacc

The Cube

Oct 24, 2025

An Ode unto Diksha it was absolutely through Nadamrutham – a visual prayer addressed unto her legendary Guru Vidwan Kalaimamani Shri T.S. Kadirvelu Pillai by Kalashri Dr Lata Surendra,  the city’s very senior Artist in the field of Bharatannatyam  for over six and half decades Nadamrutham was a dedicated disciple’s tribute  unto the creative genius  of her Guru ,  Kalaimamani Vidawan  Shri T. S. Kadirvelu Pillai,   at the intimate  space of the Cube , NMACC ,Mumbai that   had  each rasika present , enter into  a journey through an intriguing  path – a margam to  awaken to silence as the seed of all sound and stillness  as the  pulsating womb of all movement.

The programme was sponsored by the Reliance Cultural Foundation Known for establishing a one to one connect with the audience Dr Lata Surendra in her signature style of loftiness laced with humour led witnessing hearts to the pulsating romance of rhythms, poetry of love in union and seperation through the times.

“The  Nadamrutham cosmos within the cube  has two ‘suns’ today she said  drawing attention to  crisp Nattuvangam by Shri Kaliswaran Pillai and Mridangam   by Mumbai  K Dakshinamurthy   – the two talented Suns creating waves   in the rhythmic world of dance  today ,the Sangeetamrutham by mellifluos vocalist Shri N.N.Shivaprasad , the   stirring Violin by Satish Seshadri, mesmerising Flute by Shri Bharat Raj .

The performance commenced in a unique way through a choreography highlighting the eloquent poetry of  silence and sound .One could hear   Dr Lata’s  meticulous and strong footwork resonate all around  the Cube  through an intricate calculation of her distinguished Mentor Shri Kadirvelu Pillai,  which then unfolded the supreme effulgence of the Guru who awakened in her the truth of unity   and the universe as an unfragmented reality   embracing  the one life force in all through an ongoing cyclic order   ‘ Akhanda  mandalakaram ‘  Very vivid sancharis  brought out the deep truth encushioned in  timeless  lines  by His Holiness Adi Sankara charya . One often sees dancers only touching on the superficial padartham of the lines, but   the artist drew attention to every word in the lines. culminating in the greatness of the Guru- leading her from light to Light through lighting of the lamp within the temple of her heart! It opened out the pathways to notes embracing the Ragam Vasanta and a   visually arresting Jathiswaram item not done by any of the senior artists today. The’Jathiswaram’ by Tanjore quartet was a visual delight and intriguing by virtue of its obvious cross rhythmic patterns in Rupaka thalam woven by the formidable Vidwan Guru Kadirvelu Pillai.  The Nattuvangam by Kaliswaran and Mridangam by Dakshinamurthy with the complimenting vocals had all senses engulfed in the blissfulness of Nadamrutham unfolding through the experienced and consummate Artist.

 

What one marvelled at was Lata’s unflagging stamina. Post each item she quiet simply walked over to the waiting mike to reach out with eloquent details about the ensuing item.   With a sense of humour that went well with the receptive audience she recounted the cyclic drama of life replayed over and over in age -old chronicles of love. The Padam-  Netrandi Nerathile in Huseini by Subbarama Iyer – a prolific composer of Tamil padams in the late 19th century was a visual delight.   Lata explained to the audience how   it be the realm of the Gods or humans the age-old lover’s tiffs- be it’ shy sweetness of that first meeting or distressful tears of farewell ‘the plot embracing all navarasaa continues to engage life all around. She highlighted how the   Raagam Husseini   was just ideal for gentle roasting   by the uttama nayika confronting her Lord Karthikeya.

In fact, she beautifully brought through a variety of ways  the  question   that the Nayika gently kept nudging her beloved with as a refrain – “‘ in  that  golden twilight hour as  women were bathing and as all nature sought to settle for the oncoming  night  who was she who kept seeking  your attention and beckoning you towards  her ?  “Rarely do we see performers establish such a personal one to one connect with the audience. Lata took up another composition in Saveri by the same composer to underline how a proper Khandita nayika  ..irate with the endless deception of her Lord   confronts him with packed levels of sarcasm through evocative sancharis .  The evening transformed to a visual SSatsang. Itwas a reaching out by an artist who loved her art and truly longed to have all love it through feeling for it as she did.

The Vocalist was in his elemit asploring the melody content as she explored the lyrical content with fluid intensity.  The Varnam in Anandabhairavi, Adi thalam by Sivanandam Tanjore quartet was the highlight of the evening. The mathematical patterns in the nritta sequences of Varnam was unique with Mridangam Moras that were created by her legendary Guru instead of Jathis. The flourish and ease with which Lata tackled these merited an ongoing applause from the audience. The spell bound audience were totally captivated by the chemistry between the Orchestral support and the Artist. With    expressions and movements, the Senior Artist brought to life the Nayika’s longing for her Lord Rajagopala . Persuasion on one side, reluctance on the other, longing on the one side and indifference on the other. There were fresh analogies drawn in the description of her Lord.    In the highlighting of lyrics Lata mentioned how reading enriched and enhanced the depth vital to explore the content in the lyrics.

 

It was interesting to see her   apply Surdas’s etching of   how futile it was to compare Krishna to the world created by Him alone.  The lotus and fish escaping to waters shying away from the beauty of his eyes, the moon hiding indark clouds seeing his effulgent face, the snakes slithering away to dark holes seeing the sinous strength of his hands ..  The dilemma of Arjuna too ‘To be or not to be’ was veryloignantlybrought out.  It was absolutely a command performance by a veteran.

The 12th Cy Poet Shri Jayadeva’s A shtapadi.- Priye Charusheelein in Ragam Vasanthi was deeply stirring and performed with intensity and sung with feeling by the experienced Vocalist Shri Shiva Prasad, wherein Krishna, after causing Radha pain, pleads for her forgiveness with deep love and humility, culminating in his earnest request to place her feet on his head. This act represented his complete surrender unto Radha …

The sublime union of krishnamayi Radha and Radhamayi Krishna unfolded to a Thillana in Behaag by Poniah Pillai. Nadamrutham truly impacted one and all present   and proved that the dancer’s body at 71 is the visible form of an invisible passion,’ Dr Lata Surendra revealed not just her strength, but the heart and discipline that forged it.”

What stayed. long after the performance was the deceptive ease with which she navigated the most demanding sequences all through the performance. The precision was never sterile; it was the quiet confidence of a dancer completely in control. Witnessing her sustain that intensity was a lesson in dedication, a visual testament to the sentiment that, ‘True artistry isn’t just about what is seen, but about the unseen strength that makes the impossible look inevitable.’ This was a dancer who didn’t just perform; she persevered and became the dance!
