Safdarjung Tomb Hosts Enchanting Ghazal Evening with Sabhyata Foundation

In September 2025, the Sabhyata Foundation, a Smarak Sarathi under the 'Adopt a Heritage 2.0' initiative, collaborated with Serendipity Arts to host a cultural evening titled Shaam-e-Ghazal at the Safdarjung Tomb in New Delhi. The event was curated by renowned tabla maestro Bickram Ghosh, who aimed to showcase the new-age appeal of the classic ghazal form.

Singers Prithvi Gandharv and Pratibha Singh Baghel took the stage, enthralling the audience with their renditions of timeless ghazal pieces. Ghosh explained that the event was a continuation of the success of a similar program held last year at the Serendipity Festival in Goa, where the younger generation displayed a growing interest in the ghazal genre.

Puneet Dalmia, the Managing Director and CEO of Dalmia Bharat Ltd and a patron of the Sabhyata Foundation, emphasized the importance of preserving India's rich cultural heritage and using it to build human connections. He urged corporate leaders to allocate a portion of their CSR budgets towards celebrating the country's monuments, traditions, and art forms.

Sunil Kant Munjal, the founder and patron of Serendipity Arts, echoed these sentiments, stating that monuments are not just remnants of the past but dynamic spaces that can inspire new forms of creativity and dialogue. He believes that in today's world, culture has never been more important, as it builds empathy and cultivates empathetic leadership.
