Not
just maestros like Pandit Bhimsen Joshi,
Sanjeev Abhyankar, and the late Pandit
Jeetendra Abhisheki, but hardcore music lovers
of Indian classicsal music as well make Pune the
cultural capital of Maharashtra. For them, the events
like the Pune Festival, the Dagduseth Sangeet
Mahotsav and the Osho Festival have now
become a part of their yearly calendar. But the
most distinguished and the most eagerly-awaited
one is the Sawai Gandharva music festival
held every year in the third or last week of December.

Sawai Gandharva Music Festival |
Come winter, and music lovers eagerly await the
most coveted music fête, the Sawai Gandharva.
Maestros like Pandit Jasraj, Pandit Shiv Kumar Sharma,
Ustad Zakir Hussain, Gangu bai
Hangal and Hridaynath Mangeshkar consider it an
honour to perform at this event. People from all
around the country and even from overseas come to
Pune for the Sawai. The event commences at around
9 pm and continues till late in the morning. People
stay up all night listening to the established as
well as upcoming artistes. In the breezy and cold
winter nights, sitting under the marquee with hordes
of people and listening to the maestros is an enthralling
experience. So, if you are one of those inclined
to music and are in Pune anytime during December,
this is definitely not to be missed!
