About KalaSudha in Jalandhar
Indian classical music in Jalandhar has one of India's longest-running festivals at Shree Devi Talab Mandir. The Harivallabh Sangeet Sammelan took shape there in 1875, when Baba Harivallabh observed the death anniversary of his guru, Swami Tuljagiri. The Tribune calls it India's oldest unbroken chain of Hindustani classical music festivals.
Tabla learners in the city can look to the Punjab gharana, a school of tabla that grew out of pakhawaj drumming in the Punjab region. Tabla historians count it among the six main tabla gharanas, and its players favour cross-rhythms and layakari, rhythmic play.
Tabla learners in the Harivallabh city can start on KalaSudha's online courses, where sitar and every other discipline sit beside it. Each instructor builds their course with KalaSudha, and a certificate or diploma closes every level. Once enough Jalandhar learners sign up, workshops and summer camps follow, and learners of other teachers can ask for an assessment. KalaSudha also presents concerts, the Kala Festival among them, a touring festival.
