Music with a soul at this event

To encourage the classical music traditions of the city, an event was held by cultural organisations recently. The event titled Soul of Benares, was a soulful treat for the music lovers. Known sitar exponent Deobrat Mishra, along with his group of artists, regaled the audience with some raag-based presentations during the programme. The delightful jugalbandi between the artists gave some memorable moments to the event.
