Pandit Motiram Pandit Maniram Sangeet Samaroh is an annual Indian classical music festival held at Chowmahalla Palace in Hyderabad, India. The festival is organised by noted classical singer Pt. Jasraj in memory of his father and brother, both classical musicians.

Motiram and Maniram were not only vocalists but composers of repute. [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
