UP govt to build music village in Bismillah Khan's honour
The Uttar Pradesh government has given its clearance to the project of building a music village in Varanasi in honour of legendary shehnai player Ustad Bismillah Khan. The village, to be named as 'Bismillah Khan Sangeet Gram', will have a museum centre, a training-cum-research centre among other things associated with musical 'gharanas'. The project was conceived by Khan's adopted daughter.
