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.
