The musical programme, titled ISHMA 3, will take place on Saturday, 31st January, 2026 at Itachuna Rajbari.
Heritage will merge with Harmony & Royalty will meet Rhythm.
Within the timeless walls of this historic palace, music will not remain just a performance - it will become a living experience where history, culture and emotion flow together.
Every note will carry the grace of humility and the warmth of human connection, turning the evening into a celebration of art that belongs to everyone.
The journey of ISHMA began with ISHMA 1, held on 14th February, 2025 at Pradatik Theatre, followed by ISHMA 2 on 27th June, 2025 at Gyan Manch.
Both the editions received overwhelming encouragement and love from audiences, artists and well-wishers. It remains a blessing.
This heartfelt support became the true inspiration to continue the journey, leading to ISHMA 3 within 12 months, a dream made to come true.
The Journey Continues, carrying forward the spirit of music, connection and inclusivity.
Curated by Kawtha Koi Foundation, ISHMA 3 reflects the foundation’s core philosophy - storytelling through culture, inclusivity and shared experiences.
The approach is not limited to elite audiences or trained connoisseurs of classical music. Instead, the event welcomes people from diverse age groups, social backgrounds, abilities and interests - artists, learners, elders, first-time listeners and culture lovers alike.
Music becomes the common language that dissolves boundaries.
Inclusivity is not symbolic, it is intentional.
The seating, access, communication and overall atmosphere is designed so that everyone feels seen and valued. Different categories of people - artists, volunteers, heritage enthusiasts, local community members and specially-abled participants are woven into one collective audience, united by sound and soul.
ISHMA 3 aligns deeply with Kawtha Koi Foundation’s vision: To create spaces where culture heals, connects and empowers. By blending heritage with music, royalty with humanity and art with accessibility, the programme stands as a living example of how culture can be both rooted and reaching, honouring the past while opening doors to a more inclusive future.
