Sur Sangat is dedicated to the promotion and propagation of Indian classical arts. As a lifelong learner of the arts, our founder understands the importance of keeping the Indian art styles alive, especially abroad. Art is the foundation of our culture, as it has been kept alive through song, dance, and theater. Our scriptures have placed great importance on the 64 Lalith Kalas, with music, dance, and theater ranking as the highest. They connect us with each other, with nature, with ourselves, and with the divine. With this in mind, Sur Sangat’s mission is to not only spread awareness for the Indian classical arts, but also to teach the next generation, so they can keep the arts alive.
