Grammy award winning composition 'Meeting by the river...' the theme of the
composition was to spread love, affection and harmony all over the world.

the aroma of classical vocal with Ustad Rashid Khan who captured the mind of the
audience with his music accompanied on tabla by Vijay Ghate, Harmonium by Mehmood
Dholpuri, Tanpura by Shruti and Garima. Mr. Suneet Tondon was the compere for the
evening.

features of the Rampur Sahaswan style. He has developed exceptional expertise in the

done down the ages.
