Pandit Jasraj’s 48th Pt Motiram Pt Maniram Sangeet Samaroha will be held on the 29th and 30th of November, 2020 at the open air amphitheatre, Centre for Culture Resources and Training (CCRT), Madhapur, Hyderabad.
Supported by the Government of Telangana, ITC and many patrons, this Festival will continue the tradition of the past 47 years, in an effort to mark Pandit Jasraj’s presence in his very own city Hyderabad, where he finally rests now. This festival is so dear to him and to the people of Hyderabad as well.
This is the oldest Annual Music Festival of the city of pearls – Hyderabad, in all these years, this Festival has always been absolutely free for all to attend. For this unique service, Pandit Jasraj was given the title ‘Son of Hyderabad’, by the people of Hyderabad, at the hands of Bharat Ratna – MS Subbulakshmi. It was indeed a proud moment for all Hyderabadis, when their ‘Son of Hyderabad’ was bestowed with an honour by the International Astronomical Union, which named a Minor Planet situated between Mars and Jupiter as ‘Pandit Jasraj Planet.’
Speaking on the occasion Shri Jayesh Ranjan, IAS, Principal Secretary Industries, Govt. of Telangana; said, “For the past 47 years without interruption Pt Jasrajji hosted the Pt Motiram Pt Maniram Sangeet Samaroha at Hyderabad, this year without him it is being hosted. The festival will be held at CCRT and as per the government prescribed covid restrictions with only 200 audience permitted with social distancing. Face Book and Youtube will have live telecast.”
The new logo of the Pt Motiram Pt Maniram Sangeet Samaroha Festival was unveiled by the dignitaries. Durga Jasraj said, “On behalf of the Pandit Jasraj family, I am overwhelmed with the love and blessings that continue to shower on Bapuji… the support, encouragement and proactive guidance of these luminaries, has been a source of inspiration, in this new phase of the Festival. We are eternally grateful to the Government of Telangana for the support, and all our patrons who have come forth to make this a reality.”
