Kevadia, Gujarat, November 2025: In a magnificent ode to unity and nationhood, Eternal Sounds joined forces with Oscar-contending percussion maestro Bickram Ghosh and Grammy Award-winning composer Ricky Kej to co-produce “Loha Purush Namastyubhyam” — a spectacular musical masterpiece that served as the grand finale of Ekta Diwas 2025 celebrations at Ekta Nagar, Kevadia.
Commemorating the 150th birth anniversary of Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, the stirring composition stood as a musical salute to the Iron Man of India — symbolizing his unparalleled contribution to national integration. The large-scale presentation, jointly organised by the Ministry of Home Affairs, Ministry of Culture, and the Sangeet Natak Akademi, featured over 800 dancers from across India, choreographed by the acclaimed Santosh Nair. The production was helmed under the artistic direction of Dr. Sandhya Purecha, Chairperson of the Sangeet Natak Akademi.
The program was graced by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who led the nation in paying tribute to Sardar Patel’s enduring vision of unity. Among the distinguished guests were Bickram Ghosh and Gaurang Jalan, partners at Eternal Sounds, who attended as special invitees of the Ministry of Culture.
As co-presenter of the track, Eternal Sounds ensured seamless coordination, high production value, and an artistic finesse that reflected the grandeur of the national celebration. The composition brought together an ensemble of some of India’s most revered voices — Hariharan, Shaan, Richa Sharma, Mahalakshmi Iyer, Kavita Seth, and others — blending classical richness with contemporary harmony to create a soundscape that celebrated India’s “unity in diversity.”
Penned by Ashok Chakradhar and Sutapa Basu, “Loha Purush Namastyubhyam” captures the indomitable spirit of India — both timeless and evolving. The production exemplifies Eternal Sounds’ vision of fostering culturally resonant works that transcend entertainment, uniting artistry with national pride.
Co-owned by Utsav Parekh, Mayank Jalan, Gaurang Jalan, and Bickram Ghosh, Eternal Sounds continues to shape India’s musical narrative through projects that celebrate the nation’s spirit, sound, and soul.
As the echoes of “Loha Purush Namastyubhyam” filled Ekta Nagar, it stood as a reminder that music — like the legacy of Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel — remains a unifying force that binds India through every rhythm, every note, and every heart.
