Mrs. Padma Kanani, Mr. Ramesh Kanani
"Kalanjali was started in 1992 by Mrs. Padma Kanani. From a bud it has bloomed into a full institute, spreading its fragrance of classical music and dances. It was started with the intention of collaborating with like minded people in music arts and dance. Now, the entire family support Mrs. Kanani in administering the learning center. Mrs. Padma Kanani, her husband Mr. Ramesh Kanani and their teenage daughter Shruti have immersed themselves in the development of Kalanjali.
Kalanjali is affiliated with the Prayag Sangit Samiti - Allahabad. It is a recognized exam center and students can enrol for the exams to obtain a qualification in vocals, kathak, sitar and tabla.
Kalanjali frequently organizes exhibitions of the various arts that are taught. After completion of courses the students are assisted in expressing their art through these exhibitions and workshops. Even from as early as 1992, Kalanajali has organized theatre workshops and art exhibitions.
Displaying the giving side of art, Kalanjali regularly sponsors special summer workshops for orphanages. Kalanjali also offered sponsorship to economically backward students.
As a regular annual event Kalanjali celebrates Guru Poornima in an ethnic way to highlight the Vedic tradition of expressing gratitude to the Master {Guru Devoh Bhava}."
