Dhwani

The musical event was launched in 2004 in memory of Hindustani classical music doyen Mallikarjun Mansur. In 1992, Mansurji suffered a kidney ailment and came to the BKF for treatment. After his treatment, he decided to put on a public performance in support of BKF. A year later, when he passed away, BKF decided to pay tribute to the stalwart, and that is how the idea of a music event was conceived. Since its inception, more than 100 musicians have performed for Dhwani, ranging from vocalists to percussionists. The proceeds from the event will go towards helping sustain free dialysis for poor patients.
