Kalanjali

Kalanjali is a one stop place to expertise in diverse forms of art like singing, dancing, learning musical instruments, etc. As the name itself suggests it is a destination for people with a creative bent of mind. Housed in a beautifully designed structure Kalanjali (located in JP Nagar 3rd phase) enables students to pursue varied interests in art under one roof. Some of the courses offered here are:

  • Carnatic classical vocal music
  • Hindustani vocal music
  • Light music vocal
  • Kathak dance
  • Carnatic Tabla, Flute, Harmonium, Veena
  • Sitar, Guitar, Keyboard
  • Painting, sketching, craft classes
  • Clay modeling and painting

Apart from these, summer classes are held for children and theatre workshop by noted theatre personality Arjun Sajnani is held once in a year. From small kids to aged elders, people flock here to learn the various art forms with lot of enthusiasm. Exams are also conducted as per the syllabus for that particular subject like music and certificates are given. People who want to just learn these classes as a hobby can skip the exam courses. Classes are held usually once or twice a week for each category making it convenient even for working people to attend so that they can take a break from their hectic work and pursue some creative hobbies.

Once in a year during the auspicious occasion of Guru Poornima, as a gesture to offer salutation to the gurus, Kalanjali organizes its annual fest. This occasion provides an opportunity to all the Kalanjali students to showcase their talents in a packed auditorium. The works of students in the category of painting and other crafts are exhibited during this event. Due to the large number of students this program is held for 2 days to cover the performances of all the students.

All said and done if one has the thirst for learning the Kalas (art) then quench it at “KALANJALI”.
