“Shivranjani”, an institution functioning since 1972 in Gandhinagar, the capital
city of Gujarat (India) has been earnestly dedicated to the cause of preserving
and promoting all forms of Indian music, especially the regional melodies that have
evolved and thrived in Gujarati “Sugam Sangeet”. It is feared that since such music
is increasingly becoming confined to a limited audience, the generations to come
will be alienated from this vast treasure of our musical legacy. Our tireless efforts
have been to fight this increasing influence of western music and films, and we
have received immense warmth and support in our endeavor to increase quality listenership.
