The Sangeet Samrat Alladiyakhan music festival was the brainchild of Late D. R. Khadke Kaka and was initiated to pay tribute to the doyen of Jaipur - Atrauli Gharana - Sangeet Samrat Alladiyakhan Saheb. The significant feature of this festival is diversity and inclusivity giving opportunities to artistes of all gharanas and hierarchies. Since its inception, the nature and stature of the festival has evolved to such an extent that it is the only festival of this magnitude where entry to music lovers remains FREE.

The entire operations of the festival are managed by “D. R. Khadke Pratisthan”. The festival has also started with the concept of “D. R. Khadke Swaravrati Sanmaan Puraskar” to acknowledge the contributions of legends to the field of music by felicitating the recipient during the festival. This will serve as an instrument to rejuvenate the zeal of the music leaders in continuing their unparalleled contribution to music and motivating the upcoming generation to grab the knowledge and art in an undiluted form.
