Shree Baba Harballabh Sangeet Pratiyogita
To encourage the young to appreciate and improve themselves in the field of Hindustani classical music and to bring out the best amongst the competitors, an open competition in Hindustani Classical Music is organized by the Mahasabha every year for 3 days prior to the annual Sangeet Sammelan.
There are three categories for competition, namely: Vocal, Instrumental (Non-Percussion) and Instrumental (Percussion) with two age groups in each category: Juniors (Yuva Varg - between 13 to 19 years) and Seniors (Varishth Varg - 19 to 25 years) and three prizes in each category: First, Second and Third.
The winners from the Senior age group are initiated and given an opportunity to perform as 'Performing Artists' during the next Sammelan.
