Baba Alauddin Khan Music Foundation (Regd.) Delhi
Sitar Gurukul is proudly affiliated with the Baba Allauddin Khan Music Foundation (Regd.), Delhi, a distinguished cultural institution dedicated to the preservation, promotion, and propagation of India's rich heritage of Hindustani classical music.
Founded on 17 January 2005 in New Delhi, the Foundation was established by its Founder Trustees—Shri Arup Ratan Mukherjee, CA S. L. Deepak, and Mrs. Seema Deepak. Guided by the timeless ideals of the Guru–Shishya Parampara, the Foundation has, for over two decades, remained steadfast in its commitment to nurturing musical excellence and creating meaningful opportunities for emerging artists.
One of the Foundation's most cherished initiatives is its Monthly Baithaks—intimate and intellectually enriching concert gatherings that provide an esteemed platform for promising musicians and exceptionally talented young artists to perform before discerning audiences. These Baithaks foster artistic refinement, encourage the exchange of musical ideas, and play a vital role in preserving and perpetuating the living traditions of Hindustani classical music.
The Foundation also organises its prestigious Annual Indian Classical Music Festival, a distinguished celebration that brings together eminent maestros alongside gifted young performers. This festival serves as a vibrant confluence of tradition and innovation, honouring India's profound musical legacy while inspiring future generations of musicians and connoisseurs alike.
As an affiliated institution, Sitar Gurukul shares and advances the Foundation's vision of imparting authentic, tradition-based musical education while embracing the opportunities of a global learning environment. Students from across the world benefit from a curriculum deeply rooted in the illustrious Senia Maihar Beenkar Gharana, where rigorous musical training is complemented by the enduring values of discipline, humility, artistic integrity, and lifelong learning.
Together, Sitar Gurukul and the Baba Allauddin Khan Music Foundation remain united in their mission to safeguard, enrich, and disseminate one of the world's oldest and most sophisticated musical traditions. Through their unwavering dedication, they seek to ensure that the timeless beauty, profound wisdom, and spiritual depth of Indian classical music continue to inspire and enlighten generations across the globe.
