Guru Poornima celebrated with the purest form of music in the perfect ambience of Shri Eklingnathji Temple by Eternal Mewar, is growing on people by the year. Those who understand Indian classical music simply close their eyes and drift away. Those who do not, are surprised at themselves responding to the melodies in such harmony. Above all, the vocalists and musicians themselves fall short of words to describe what they felt when they performed at Swaranjali 2013. They cannot thank Shriji Arvind Singh Mewar more for making this possible every year and bringing together the connoisseurs of music on a single platform while creating new ones. A platform that remains to be unique to Mewar and in the world.

Just what the first rain does to you after the prickling summer. With a wet breeze on a full moon night. As if the ambience were not enough to melt you, the classical music also hits you from afar and mesmerizes you. And you wonder, can this be real till you pinch yourself hard to believe.
You got it right! That time of the year is approaching and beckons you once again to succumb to the indulgent music by renowned vocalists and instrumentalists at the Ekling ji Temple, Kailaspuri. Started in the year 2003 by Shriji Arvind Singh Mewar, Shree Eklingji Trust and Maharana Kumbha Sangeet Kala Trust jointly celebrate the Guru Poornima – a tribute to the teacher with the mystic ‘SWARANJALI’, which literally means a musical tribute.
Ekling ji temple is located 21 kms from Udaipur at Kailaspuri and is home to Parmeshwarji Maharaj, in whose honour is Swaranjali celebrated each year. This year, it is being celebrated on 22nd July. The musical ceremony will be carried out in two sittings: 10.30 am to 1.35 pm and 5.30 pm to 8.00 pm.
