It includes a hundred piece of orchestra consisting of flute in between surrounded by various other instruments like guitar, drums, keyboard, saxophone and other different differences. Every year it features a different raga based composition and to name a few, it includes ragas like Raga [[Khamaj]], Raga Bhinna Shadja, Raga [[Yaman (raga)|Yaman]], etc.

===Khandesh Sangeet Samaroh===
In the Khandesh region of [[Maharashtra]], the Indian classical music has not gained much importance. A music movement called Khandesh Sangeet Samaroh was started by Vivek Sonar in the year 2010 in chalisgaon, his hometown in Maharashtra. The motive of the movement was to recognize and encourage the Indian classical music in small towns. Hence, it was conceivable to bring various performances of the leading musicians to the town of [[Khandesh]].

===Aadaranjali and Swaranjali===
In the memory of Late Shree Ramchandra D. Sonar, father of Vivek Sonar, in 2010, Vivek Sonar started an annual music program Aadaranjali which is held in [[Chalisgaon]] in May every year. Another yearly music event is held yearly in Chalisgaon in the memory of Master Anant Rao Gurav.
