Bandish, an annual event organised by the National Centre for the Performing Arts (NCPA), pays tribute to legendary composers whose collective works constitute our musical heritage and continue to inspire modern-day performers.

The upcoming edition will celebrate composers such as Rabindranath Tagore, Alladiya Khan, Faiyaz Khan, Vilayat Hussain Khan, Jaidev, Naushad and Madan Mohan. Their Bandish (structured melodic and rhythmic compositions) will be performed by artistes such as Manjari Asnare Kelkar, Rashid Khan, Gulzar, Ajoy Chakraborty and Javed Ali.
