A soulful celebration of the musical era.
Until the first note
Swaraparva is an evening set aside for Hindustani classical vocal in its full form — an alaap that takes its own time, a bandish that opens slowly, and a tabla that answers rather than hurries. No screens, no interval scramble. Just a stage, a tanpura drone, and an audience that came to listen.
Entry is by complimentary pass. Seating is limited to the capacity of the hall, so passes are confirmed in the order registrations come in.
Pt. Sanjeev Abhyankar trained first with his mother, Smt. Shobha Abhyankar, and went on to become one of the closest disciples of Sangeet Martand Pt. Jasraj. His singing is known for its clarity of swara, its patience in the slow movements, and a devotional warmth that carries a full hall without ever being loud.
Doors at 5.15 PM, first note at 6.00 PM sharp. Late entry only between pieces.
A maximum of two passes per registration, so the hall reaches as many listeners as possible.
Passes are issued only through this page. Nothing is sold at the gate.
Two passes per registration. You receive a unique Privilege ID by email the moment you register — carry it to the door.
A confirmation with this ID is on its way to your inbox. Please carry it — on your phone is fine — to MES Auditorium on the evening.
The confirmation reaches your inbox within a minute. If it is not there, look in Promotions or Spam and mark it as not spam — or write to rohiveregistrations@gmail.com with your Privilege ID.
On the Mayur Colony side of Kothrud, a short walk from Karve Road. The road slows after 5.30 PM, so please leave a little early.
Yes. Swaraparva is a complimentary concert hosted by Rohive Foundation. There is no charge at any stage and nothing is sold at the venue. If anyone asks you to pay for a pass, it is not from us.
The hall has a fixed capacity and we would rather it reach as many households as possible. Two passes are held against each mobile number, so once a number has taken its two it cannot register again — please use a separate number for other guests. If you need a larger block for a family or an office group, open the chat at the bottom right and the desk will arrange it.
It is your registration reference, generated the moment you submit the form and emailed to you straight away. Showing it at the registration desk is all that is needed — no printout, no ticket counter.
Seating is by block, not by seat number, and it fills front to back in the order registrations come in. Arriving by 5.40 PM gets you a comfortable choice within your block.
Children above six are welcome and need a pass of their own. A classical concert asks for quiet, so please count a young child into your two.
Tell the desk in the chat with your Privilege ID. It releases your seats for someone on the waiting list, which fills quickly.
Photographs without flash are fine before the concert begins. Audio and video recording during the performance is not permitted, out of respect for the artist and the people around you.
Seats are complimentary and limited to the hall — two passes per registration, confirmed in the order they arrive. Take a minute now and your Privilege ID lands in your inbox straight away.
Or ask the desk anything — the chat is at the bottom right.
