When Puneites were wooed by classical notes

Every year, the Gaanasaraswati Mohatsav is an indulgence for

classical music

enthusiasts of the city. Legends take the stage, setting the mood for the musical experience. This year too, the artistes mesmerised the audience with their performances. Be it Abhishek Borkar’s Sarod performance or Pandit Raghunandan Panshikar’s (hailing from Jaipur-Atrauli gharana) melodious notes, the festival cast a musical spell.

Other stalwarts who performed at the event were Pandit Anand Bhate from

Kirana Gharana

and Pandit Sanjeev Abhyankar from

Mewati Gharana

. The instrumentalists who accompanied these veterans also put up a noteworthy show. It was definitely a added jewel to Pune's cultural scene.
