Sursagar Society of Delhi Gharana (Regd)
Sursagar Society was founded in 1940 by the late Ustad Chand Khan Sahab (Sangeet Martand) in  the  memory  of  his  father  Shams-e-Mousiqui,  Ustad  Mamman  Khan.  The  society  aims  to conserve and promote an awareness of both the rich and heterogeneous cultural tapestry through focus on the classical arts, with their attendant legends,  rituals, mythology and philosophy and the deeper and  subtler values of these arts. This is of utmost importance, because what we are trying to do here is noble. We’re trying to save an art, the art of music, which is precisely, an implication  of  the  collective  conscience  of  the  Indian civilization.  The  idea  behind  Sursagar Society  of  Dilli  Gharana is to  promote  Indian music in  a  way that  really  does  have  an  effect, a  permanent effect  on the  pattern  of  following  of  Indian music. Here, we  plan more and more events with efficient collaborations in concerts and take this the live performances of the masters to the next level.

The  society  has  been  organizing  concerts  in  Delhi,  Kolkata  and  Ranchi,  and  honoring outstanding artists with the objective of developing more interest in Indian Classical Music. The society also runs the Amir Khusro Institute of Dilli Gharana where training is being provided to all those interested in  any  art  form  of  Indian Classical Music in  a traditional  Guru  Shishya Parampara.


Sangeet Martand Ustad Chand Khan Music Festival  represents an opportunity  for music lovers of the city to connect with the richly resonant art of Hindustani music. With representation from all parts of  India, this  festival intends to  resonate a musical spirit of music connoisseurs across the  world.  In  conjunction  with  Ustad  Chand  Khan  Festival,  the  society  also confers Saneet Martand Ustad Chand Khan Lifetime Achievement Award every year.
