Sawai Gandharva Bhimsen Festival edition of the festival is also held in
Hyderabad,
India at the historical
Chowmahalla Palace.
History
It was organised for the first time in Hyderabad in February 2012. It is organised by Mohan Hemmadi and Abhijit Bhattacharjee. It was decided to make it an annual event in Hyderabad like the Pune edition, and possibly an all-night event.
Controversy
The festival started on a wrong note with police denying permission and the show on the first day had to be curtailed. And the police gave a limited permission till 10 p.m., making it difficult for artists to be accommodated well in stipulated time.
