Quote from the Organizers
“For us, this festival is not just an event but an offering of devotion through music. Over the past twenty years, Tribhukti has stood as a confluence of faith, tradition, and artistry. We are honored to continue sharing this joy with the community,” said the Festival Committee of Nellai Heights.
Quotes of the performing Artist:
We are delighted to present Tribhukti, a special Indian classical music concert curated by Shashi Vyas, on the occasion of the Ganesh Festival. For decades, this festival was celebrated with Indian classical music concerts, where some of the greatest masters offered their art as devotion. In recent years this tradition has become less frequent, and through Tribhukti, Vinay and I feel privileged to be a part of reviving it. It is our humble offering to Lord Ganesha and to the timeless cultural heritage of our music. – says Anuja Zokarkar
It is both a true honour and a joy to be part of Tribhukti, along with my wife Anuja Zokarkar, this year. As we all know Mumbai’s Ganesh festival scenario once resounded with the music of great maestros, and by reviving this tradition, Tribhukti beautifully reconnects the festival with its rich musical heritage. I am deeply thankful to Shashi Vyasji for taking up this thoughtful initiative ahead, which not only preserves a glorious legacy but also adds a refreshing vibe that nurtures the place of Classical Music in today’s cultural celebrations – say’s Vinay Ramdasan
Preserving a Tradition
Mumbai’s Ganesh Festival once resounded with the voices of legendary maestros such as Pt. Bhimsen Joshi, Pt. Mallikarjun Mansoor, and Pt. Jitendra Abhisheki. In recent years, however, the presence of classical music in such celebrations has declined. By hosting Tribhukti, Nellai Heights proudly upholds this cultural legacy and inspires other communities to integrate classical music into their festivities—preserving tradition while nurturing future generations.
