The 150th Shree Baba Harivallabh Sangeet Sammelan commenced with shehnai, dhrupad, sitar, cello, and folk-laced vocals at the Shri Devi Talab Mandir in Jalandhar. This year's event, dedicated to the 350th martyrdom anniversary of Shri Guru Tegh Bahadur Sahib and the late Pt Chhannulal Mishra, aims for a larger gathering. The opening featured Saraswati Vandana, shabad recital, pakhawaj, and shehnai performances. The pandal accommodates 2,000 attendees, with special floral decor and heaters to combat the cold.
