ITC-SRA pays musical tribute to Bharat through ‘Desh Ek Raag 2’

On the occasion of the 79th Independence Day of India, ITC Ltd., through ITC Sangeet Research Academy (ITC-SRA), has come up with ‘Desh Ek Raag 2’, a stirring musical tribute to the nation’s spirit and its rich cultural heritage.

Rooted in the timeless discipline of Hindustani classical music, the presentation is inspired by Raag Desh, immortalised through the patriotic strains of Vande Maataram and enriched by collaborations with traditional Indian dance forms celebrating the diversity of ‘Bharat’.
The ITC-SRA has been preserving and propagating Hindustani classical music for years. For over four decades, it has nurtured the country’s rich musical heritage, where Gurus and Shishyas live and learn together in an environment of deep trust and reverence, ensuring that the purity of the art form is passed down with integrity across generations.
ITC has been a pioneer in the corporate world in preserving and propagating Hindustani classical music.
Established nearly five decades ago, the ITC SRA is a unique institution that has nurtured India’s rich heritage in this musical genre, with a galaxy of some of the most acclaimed Gurus.
Desh Ek Raag 2 is a true embodiment of ITC’s credo of ‘Nation First: Sab Saath Badhein’, bringing together diverse creative expressions that manifest one of India’s oldest Parampara of Guru-Shishya.
“On the occasion of India’s 79th Independence Day, it gives me immense pleasure to present Desh Ek Raag 2, a tribute to our beloved Nation,” said Sanjiv Puri, chairman, ITC Ltd, in a social media post.
Anchored on the Desh Raag, this musical video captures the timeless grace, the unwavering spirit and the unity that binds all of us together as one Nation, he added.
