Celebrating the ‘India Calling’ event at the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles, a special ensemble of music created by Pandit Ravi Shankar and accompanied by his daughter Anoushka showcased Indian classical and contemporary music.

An audience of over 15,000 sat enthralled all through the spectacular musical treat on September 20 organised jointly by National Geographic and Incredible India at the Hollywood Bowl, according to a Tourism Ministry release.

The musical programme included Bhangra by Malkit Singh, songs by Kailash Kher and folk singers from Rajasthan.

Tourism Secretary Sujit Banerjee said “The rewards of producing ‘India Calling’ are endless, but is rooted in promoting more inbound tourism for India from all around the world and exporting India’s culture at the same time.”
