MUMBAI: The Ganga is set to hum to a new tune this November, one composed by none other than A.R. Rahman. On 29 November, NDTV Good Times will host Harmony by the Ganga at Namo Ghat, Varanasi, where the maestro’s melodies will meet the river’s timeless rhythm.
Performing in Varanasi for the very first time, Rahman will bring his signature fusion of classical roots and contemporary sound to India’s oldest living city. The evening promises to be a spiritual symphony, where ragas, reverence and Rahman’s genius flow together in perfect harmony.
Joining him on stage will be Jhalaa, a band handpicked by the composer himself. Their collaboration will create a musical bridge between tradition and modernity, filling the ghats with notes that echo long after the final chord fades.
Preparations at Namo Ghat are already in full swing, with a grand stage, cutting-edge sound design and lights choreographed to complement the sacred setting. Every detail is being fine-tuned to ensure the night feels as immersive as the music itself.
The event follows NDTV Good Times’ much-lauded Sonu Nigam by Dal Lake concert in Srinagar, which revived large-scale cultural celebrations in the Valley. With Harmony by the Ganga, the channel continues its journey of crafting landmark musical moments that unite art, heritage and emotion.
When Rahman’s notes rise over the Ganga’s gentle flow, Varanasi will witness not just a concert, but a confluence of sound, soul and centuries of tradition.
