Patriotic And Devotional Singing Contest

Music tastes better as the food of love if it is for the Lord or the land, Suresh and friends believe. And since that can be served only if exists, here's the next installment of their efforts to guide talent towards this direction.

Sri Bharathi Sangeetha Sahitya Kala Vikasa Vedika, a cultural organization started by Ch Suresh, has been organizing cultural programs and music competitions at various cultural venues of the twin cities for nearly 2 years. Suresh is a private company employee with a keen interest in music, and started this organization along with some like-minded friends.

Ever since its inception, the Vedika has been organizing cultural programs and competitions to promote music. The goal is to provide a platform for and exposure to aspiring artists of the city. Unlike other commercial organizations that promote singers of film songs, this one is keen to promote patriotic and devotional music.

One such music competition will happen at the Bansilal Pitti Auditorium today, and interested persons can enroll their names in the appropriate categories - juniors (age 9-15 yrs) or seniors (age 16-36 yrs) - before the 10th of this month.

Individual and groups can take part, but individuals can sing only in the devotional songs category, and groups only in the patriotic songs category. The winners in this competition will be honored with prizes on the 15th of August at the same venue.
