[QUOTE="spnadmin, post: 146523, member: 35"] important historical background. [B]When music meets histor[/B]y With five and a half acres of facility at Qila Sarai in Sultanpur Lodhi to be soon converted into a music academy, the dilapidated building is going to reverberate with musical notes, writes Vandana Shukla MANY caravans have passed by it. The crumbling walls of Qila Sarai in Sultanpur Lodhi, Punjab, have been a witness to a long march of history. In the process, it acquired a strange coinage for its name — a sarai and a qila. And it adapted to varied roles in the process of history. As the name itself suggests, the sarai served the tired travellers in the past, who would stay over for a while to rest.

The sarai is going to reverberate with musical notes in the days to come. Punjab has been the fountainhead of four major music gharanas but so far not a single academy has been established in the state to propagate musical traditions of any of the gharanas The upcoming academy at Qila Sarai will be dedicated to the study of devotional music In an unusual gesture of concern for its heritage, the Punjab Government sanctioned Rs 2 crore to Anad Foundation in the state Budget of 2011. The foundation, which works towards the conservation of heritage through Anad Conservatory — an institute of arts, aesthetics, cultural, traditions and development studies — has been given this rare support by the cash-strapped government for setting up an institution dedicated to the study of devotional music at Qila Sarai, Sultanpur Lodhi. Though, Punjab has been the fountainhead of four major music gharanas namely Patiala Kasoor, Sham Chaurasi, Talwandi and Kapurthala, so far not a single academy has been established in the state to study and propagate musical traditions of any of these gharanas.
