Prayag Sangit Samiti

Prayag Sangit Samiti was founded in the year 1926. The Samiti is an Organization registered under the Indian Societies Registration Act of 1860. It was founded with the sole aim of propagating and popularizing the cause of Indian Classical Music in the country.

Since its very beginning the Samiti has been striving hard for the propagation and elevation of the status of music, bringing about a new change in the activities relating to music and giving it an identity and feeling of self-realization to musicians and students of music.

On a reviewing of and scanning the past stages of change in the History of Indian music, patrons of music, considering the dimensions and intensity of the change, will realize that notably Prayag Sangit Samiti helped throughout its existence to bring about this renaissance.

Samiti has been playing the role of a torch bearer in the world of classical music and it can legitimately pride itself in having, achieved high reputation for consistently upholding the highest and richest traditions of this sublime art.

The Samiti is housed in two imposing buildings of its own, one situated in the heart of the city in South Malaka and the other in the sylvan surroundings of the Alfyed Park.

It stands exclusively to the credit of the Samiti that music in the country now stands recognized as a subject of study by the U. P. Government and other State Governments of the country. Its diplomas and degrees are recognized by a number of State Governments, educational bodies and Universities.

The Samiti has constructed a beautiful Muktangan, an Open Air Theatre - a cultural dream land, with its terraces, grassy beds, flowers and innumerable water fountains in varied hues in the promises of Alfred Park Building.

The Muktangan is spread in nearly half of an acre of land, neatly completely turfed as a soft green carpet, colonnade in several expansive galleries. It has flower beds an all sides and having small bridges over the watery tunnels, is very nice beauty spot. It is a place, where people forget their worries, sorrows, sufferings and the mundane humdrum living. The low realigned bridges bridge the gulf between the ancient and modern. The foreigners proclaim the Muktangan as the first of its kind in the East.
