Kiran Shigvan:

Kiran Shigvan’s sculptures operate at the intersection of anatomical precision, restraint, and a sensitivity to material behaviour. Working primarily in fibreglass and bronze, he demonstrates a disciplined command over form, allowing the human figure to emerge not as show but as a site of quiet psychological intensity. His sculptures often appear paused mid-thought or mid-breath, suggesting an inward turn rather than an outward performance. There is no excess here, gesture is economised, surfaces are controlled, and the body is treated as a vessel of lived experience rather than an object of idealisation.

What is striking is Shigvan’s ability to let material speak without overpowering the subject. Fibreglass lends his figures a contemporary immediacy, while bronze anchors them within a longer sculptural lineage, creating a productive tension between the present and the classical. His figures carry the weight of ordinary vulnerability; fatigue, contemplation, resilience, rendered with dignity and restraint. In an age of overstated narratives, Kiran Shigvan’s sculptures insist on slowness, silence, and deep looking.

Karuna Shigvan:

Karuna Shigvan’s sculptural language is lyrical, devotional, and inward-looking, shaped by an enduring engagement with feminine presence, musicality, and mythic memory. Her figures, often women, musicians, or dual-faced visages are not portraits in the literal sense but embodiments of states of being: listening, offering, waiting, remembering. Working with bronze and fibreglass, she builds surfaces through intricate texturing that recalls textiles, jewellery, and ritual ornamentation, allowing the skin of the sculpture to carry cultural memory and form.

There is a musical rhythm in her work; the flute, the peacock feather, the inward-tilted head, suggesting sound translated into stillness. Unlike heroic monumentality, Shigvan’s sculptures favour intimacy and grace; their elongated proportions and softened gestures evoke bhakti traditions and classical Indian aesthetics without slipping into pastiche. The duality of faces hints at layered identities: inner and outer selves, the temporal and the eternal. Her work draws the viewer into a quiet, sustained communion. In a contemporary moment obsessed with speed, Karuna Shigvan’s sculptures reclaim slowness as a form of reverence.

Arham Khan – Grandson Disciple of Sarangi Samrat Ustad Sabri Khansahb

Arham Khan is a promising young Sarangi Player carrying forward one of the most revered legacies in Indian classical music.

He is the grandson of the legendary Sarangi Samrat Ustad Sabri Khan Sahib, a towering figure who took the sarangi to the global stage and transformed its presence in both classical and world music.

Born into the prestigious Moradabad Gharana, Arham represents the newest generation of a lineage that has preserved and enriched the sarangi tradition for over four centuries.

Arham Khan is the son of Ustad Ayyub Khan, himself a dedicated Sarangi Player, and the nephew of Sarangi Sultan Ustad Kamal Sabri, an internationally acclaimed maestro known for his innovative approach, global collaborations, and deep commitment to keeping the sarangi relevant in contemporary musical discourse.

Growing up in such an extraordinary musical environment, Arham was naturally immersed in the rich soundscape of raga, tala, and nuanced improvisation from an early age.

Under the guidance of his elders and inspired by the monumental achievements of his grandfather and uncle, Arham has begun shaping his own musical identity while remaining deeply rooted in classical discipline.

His playing reflects sensitivity, maturity, and a sincere understanding of the sarangi’s emotional depth — qualities that are hallmarks of the Sabri family tradition.

Even at a young stage in his journey, his performances reveal a balance of reverence for tradition and curiosity for exploration.

Arham Khan stands as a symbol of continuity and hope for the future of the sarangi. As he progresses under the blessings and mentorship of his distinguished family, he carries not only an illustrious name but also a responsibility to uphold and advance one of India’s most soulful musical heritages for generations to come !

Pune, India: A special evening blending remembrance, music, and medical service unfolded in Pune on Friday, 6 February 2026, at 6:15 PM onwards at Yashwantrao Chavan Natyagruha, Kothrud, as the Lata Mangeshkar Medical Foundation presented the Lata Mangeshkar Medical Award during a commemorative ceremony dedicated to the life and values of Bharat Ratna Lata Mangeshkar.

The programme was accompanied by a musical tribute titled “Santwani & LATA HRYDAY – In Reverence to Lata Didi,” convened by Manisha Nischals Mehak Concerts.

Organised in association with Deenanath Mangeshkar Hospital & Research Center, the ceremony paid homage not only to the legendary voice that defined generations of Indian music, but also to the spirit of service that Lata Mangeshkar championed throughout her life.

The medical award recognised distinguished doctors and healthcare professionals whose dedication to patient care reflected those same humanitarian ideals.

This year, the Foundation presented its first Bharat Ratna Lata Dinanath Mangeshkar Vaidyakratna Award to Dr. (Prof.) S. Rajshekaran, Chairman, GANGA Hospital, Coimbatore.

The evening was graced by  Dr. Vishwanath Karad, Founder of MIT Group of Institutions, as the Chief Guest. Among the eminent dignitaries in attendance were Pandit Hridaynath Mangeshkar, Pt. Suresh Talwalkar, Pt. Shankar Abhyankar, Dr. Dhananjay Kelkar, and Dr. Sameer Jog.

The evening was compered by Dipti Bhagwat.

Where Music Met Medicine

Instituted to celebrate excellence in healthcare, the Lata Mangeshkar Medical Award extended the Mangeshkar family’s legacy beyond the world of music and into the realm of healing. The honour recognised doctors whose service, skill, and empathy had made a meaningful difference to countless lives.

A Soulful Musical Tribute to Lata Didi

The cultural highlight of the evening was Santwani & Lata Hryday, a devotional and classical musical tribute inspired by the spiritual depth and emotional resonance of the poetry of Sant Dnyaneshwar, Sant Surdas, Sant Kabir, Sant Tukaram, and Sant Meerabai, as rendered through Lata Mangeshkar’s musical journey.

The segment featured performances by Pandit Hridaynath Mangeshkar, Pt. Shankar Abhyankar, and singers Vibhavari Joshi, Manisha Nischal, Shreyasi Pavgi, Rutuja, and Prachi, alongside other distinguished artistes.

Speaking about the tribute, Pandit Hridaynath Mangeshkar said:

“Music was Didi’s prayer, her offering to the world. Through Swarajali, we remembered not just her voice, but her devotion, discipline, and the purity with which she approached every note.”

Reflecting on the emotional significance of the evening, Usha Mangeshkar shared:

“For us, Didi was not only a musical legend but a guiding light in compassion and humility. She always believed that true success lies in giving back. Seeing her name associated with healing and hope through this medical award would have made her deeply happy.”

Continuing a Legacy of Care

Through Deenanath Mangeshkar Hospital & Research Center, the Foundation has long supported advanced treatment, research, and accessible healthcare for families across Maharashtra. The institution stands as a living tribute to the values of service, empathy, and excellence upheld by the Mangeshkar family.

The Bharat Ratna Lata Mangeshkar Memorial Ceremony marked an evening of reverence, remembrance, and renewed commitment — where melody met medicine, and legacy met service.
