Bengaluru's cultural heartbeat quickens with Raagini at Prestige Centre for Performing Arts (PCPA), a series that honours classical music like no other. These live concerts immerse music lovers in the profound world of Indian classical music, blending Carnatic precision with Hindustani depth. Raagini in Bengaluru crafts unforgettable cultural events that resonate far beyond the stage.
Step into PCPA's welcoming Rehearsal Room on a lazy Sunday morning, where ragas unfold like morning mist. Since the standout October 19, 2025, edition with Carnatic vocalist Chandana Bala Kalyan, her akaaras still echoing in rasika memories, Raagini has flourished, delivering edition after soulful edition.
The Enduring Magic of Raagini's Live Energy
Raagini thrives on live spontaneity, where artists like Chandana and her ensemble (violinist C.V. Shruthi, mridangam wizard Adamya Ramanand, ghatam maestro Sriharsha Udupa) turn ragas into shared stories. The period after October saw the release of multiple editions, which included a November Hindustani dive with Vid. Ramakrishnan Murthy's taans and a December fusion show and early 2026 veena-khayal pairings that kept Bengaluru buzzing.
Each live concert captures raw emotion, Carnatic krithis in Mohanam, which show their emotional essence through their musical notes and Hindustani alaaps in Yaman, which create a temporal experience. Music lovers return for the intimacy which comes from acoustics that embrace every musical note.
Bridging Carnatic and Hindustani Worlds
Indian classical music shines brightest in duality, and Raagini spotlights both seamlessly. One edition might pulse with Carnatic rhythmic fireworks; the next, like those after October's triumph, unwinds Hindustani meditative flows. PCPA curates virtuosos who innovate respectfully, flautists gliding through scales, sarod players weaving meends. Raagini in Bengaluru offers a pause, with editions piling up to prove its staying power.
Why Bengaluru's Scene Craves Raagini

For music lovers, it's more than notes; it's a connection.
