The message of women empowerment promoted through the ‘Nari Shakti’ campaign of Luniya Vinayak Group of Companies (LVGC) is gaining international recognition through cultural initiatives. Taking this vision beyond India’s borders, Yaman Arts Foundation, an associate organization of LVGC, organized a special musical programme dedicated to ‘Nari Shakti’ in Edison, New Jersey, USA, on the auspicious occasions of Dhanteras and Diwali.

The event celebrated the richness of Indian culture, women’s empowerment and the timeless tradition of Indian classical music. Talented women artists of Indian origin showcased their musical excellence, artistic abilities and cultural roots through captivating performances. The Khanolkar family graciously hosted the special celebration.

The musical evening featured several remarkable performances. Young vocalists Mansi Tarigoppula and Priyal Garg impressed the audience with their melodious duet presentations of Raag Rageshree and ‘Maa Sharde’. Their performance was followed by young flautist Ishana Banerjee, whose soulful flute recital created a memorable musical atmosphere.

Kumari Adrija Bhattacharya presented the classical vocal tradition of the Rampur-Sahaswan Gharana, performing Vilambit and Drut compositions in Raag Poorvi. Vidushi Rosi Dutta Pandit further enriched the evening with her presentation of Raag Kedar and Kajri in the distinctive Gayaki style of the Gwalior Gharana.

The artists received excellent musical accompaniment from Mrs. Archana Gollamudi on harmonium and Taal Ratna Pandit Aditya Narayan Banerjee on tabla. Mr. Tejeyu Khanolkar conducted the programme, while Mihir Khanolkar managed the sound arrangements.

Promoting Women’s Empowerment Across International Borders

The ‘Nari Shakti’ campaign of LVGC is dedicated to strengthening women’s economic, social and professional independence. Its vision is to create meaningful opportunities for women in entrepreneurship, encourage them to establish their own businesses and support their participation in leadership roles.

Under this initiative in India, women are being encouraged and guided to establish their own companies, explore self-employment opportunities and develop independent business ventures. The campaign aims to help women build their identities as self-reliant entrepreneurs and business leaders, including CEOs.

The participation of Yaman Arts Foundation in presenting this philosophy through Indian art and cultural programmes in the United States represents a significant step towards expanding the campaign’s international cultural presence.

The event conveyed an important message: women’s talent, capabilities and achievements are not restricted by geographical boundaries or national identities. Whether in arts, culture, education, entrepreneurship or social leadership, recognizing women’s contributions is essential to achieving meaningful empowerment.

Organized during the festive celebrations of Dhanteras and Diwali, the musical gathering not only brought the beauty of Indian cultural traditions to American soil but also strengthened the bonds of cultural friendship between India and the United States.

The LVGC family described the initiative as an inspiring effort that brings together the shared values of women’s dignity, self-respect, cultural heritage and economic independence. The organization expressed its commitment to taking the spirit of ‘Nari Shakti’ to wider platforms through collaborative initiatives and opportunities for women.
