“It’s not often we get to experience something like this in Gurugram,” said an attendee. “Events like these bring our community together and remind us of the city’s potential to grow as a cultural hub,” they added.

According to attendees, the highlight was a spellbinding performance by renowned classical vocalist Sudhanshu Bahuguna, who trained under Pandit Vinay Chandra Maudgalya and Pandit L.K. Pandit. His choir group also delivered collective presentations.

Shikha Gupta, director of Kalagram, opened the evening by reflecting on the organisation’s five-year journey. She noted that 50 volunteers are now part of the effort to promote the arts. “The district administration is working to establish Gurugram as a city of art lovers,” Gupta said, encouraging more people to join the movement.

The event, funded by Kalagram, was attended by prominent artists and dignitaries, including Jyotsna Rai, Preeti Mishra, Rewa and Manuj, and Seema Seth, further elevating the evening’s cultural significance.
