Mann Mohyo Sawaro

Discover the timeless world of Haweli Sangeet as Vinay Ramadasan and Anuja Zokarkar bring the devotional music of Pushtimargi temples to life.

Rooted in the Dhrupad–Dhamar tradition, Haweli Sangeet is a living expression of devotion, where music accompanies the daily seva of Lord Krishna. Preserved through generations of the Guru–Shishya Parampara, its compositions bring together the spiritual and artistic traditions of the Pushtimarg Sampradaya.

Mann Mohyo Sāwaro is an immersive concert experience that explores this rich Indian classical and semiclassical musical heritage through rarely heard compositions and cherished devotional classics. Moving between temple, folk and classical traditions, the production recreates the intimate soundscape of Pushtimargi havelis through authentic acoustic instrumentation. Conceived and directed by Hindustani classical vocalist Vinay Ramadasan, a ‘Top Grade’ artist of All India Radio, and featuring Sangeet Natak Akademi Ustad Bismillah Khan Yuva Puraskar recipient Anuja Zokarkar, the production brings together two artists united by a shared commitment to presenting traditional music for contemporary audiences.

Live narration, visual storytelling and contextual insights offer audiences a deeper understanding of the philosophy, rituals and musical aesthetics of this living tradition. Curated by Shashi Vyas, the concert brings together an accomplished ensemble featuring Omkar Dalvi on pakhawaj, Amit Padhye on organ, Umesh Warbhuvan on percussion, Bhaskar Das on flute and Aditya Apte on high percussion, with Aman Raithatha, Kedar Jog and Sharvari Dongre on chorus and tanpura. Together, they invite both connoisseurs and first-time listeners into the evocative world of Haweli Sangeet.
