We are proud to share that Lokgharana has been featured in Pradhan Times on 16th February 2025, highlighting our work in reviving Indian classical music and making it accessible to every corner of society.
The article focused on the grand culmination of our “Vadya Vigyan” workshop, where we hosted a special music competition for underprivileged children. The event was graced by our founder, Rohan Manchanda, who personally handed out certificates of participation and appreciation to every young learner who took part.
Celebrating the Power of Music and Recognition
Being featured in Pradhan Times is a moment of immense joy and reflection for all of us at Lokgharana. This is more than just media recognition — it’s an acknowledgment of our mission, our community, and the cultural pulse we are nurturing through Indian classical music.
For our team and all those connected with Lokgharana, this feature symbolizes the growing resonance of our efforts — from traditional instruments and ancient compositions to new generations of curious learners and passionate artists.
Empowering Through Music: Vadya Vigyan
The Vadya Vigyan workshop has been one of our most impactful initiatives — an immersive learning experience exploring the history, structure, and rhythm of Indian musical instruments. The closing-day competition provided a platform for young participants, many from underserved backgrounds, to demonstrate what they learned, gain confidence, and feel the pride of being recognized.
Moments like these — where art meets access and recognition meets reality — are what Lokgharana stands for.
A Heartfelt Thank You
To our mentors, instructors, volunteers, families, and supporters — this milestone is yours as much as it is ours.
To the children who performed, learned, and inspired us, thank you for making this journey more meaningful than words can express.
We are also deeply grateful to Pradhan Times for believing that stories of culture, compassion, and community deserve a place in the spotlight.
