GOONJ

Indian Music Instrument
Exhibition

Indian Classical Music holds a rich legacy of diverse singing styles and unique instruments that have evolved over centuries. Unfortunately, many traditional instruments that once shaped our music are now forgotten. To reconnect the new generation with this heritage, our institute organized GOONJ — a three-day exhibition and musical carnival showcasing 32 rare and traditional instruments, including four types of Veena (Saraswati, Vichitra, Triveni, and Ranjan Veena), Ravan Hatta, and Foot-Pumped Harmonium, along with familiar ones like Tabla, Flute, and Dholak.

The event, inaugurated by Indore Commissioner Mr. Sanjay Dubey, featured performances and interactive sessions by artists such as Shri Vivek Bansod, Gaurav Nagor, Anvay Pandit, Atharva Pawar, and Amit Alekar. Senior instrumentalists of Indore were also felicitated for preserving this legacy. Students from 12 leading schools and numerous music enthusiasts participated enthusiastically, making GOONJ a true bridge between past and present generations.

The overwhelming response inspired us to continue this initiative, keeping alive the sound and spirit — the Goonj — of India’s musical heritage.
