Regular events are organized by this institute which are dedicated to music. Participating in these events means detaching from the hustle and bustle of the world and automatically connecting with oneself, connecting with nature, connecting with music and connecting with God. Drowning in a hangover without taking any medicine or intoxicant. Even today there was a special event here.
