The splendour of ‘ghazals’ came alive at a concert, ‘Kahani Ghazal ki’, organised by the Cosmic Art Foundation, Pracheen Kala Kendra and State Bank of India, at Tagore Theatre here on Saturday. 

Presence of Bollywood icon Raza Murad, ‘ghazal’ maestro Chandan Das and Vidushi Radhika Chopra added to the charm of the event. While Murad traced and explained the concept, style and lyrical content of ‘ghazals’, Chandan Das and Vidushi Radhika Chopra won hearts with their melodious voice.

Star performer Chandan Das doled out ‘ghazals’ such as ‘Naa ji bhar ke dekha, Sarkati jai’, ‘Usne inqaar to hargiz’, ‘Dil na milte’ and ‘Tasveer banata hoon’. 

Chief guests IAS officer SK Monga (Retd), Dr Shobha Koser from the Kendra, and Surinder Rana, General Manager, SBI Punjab, honoured the artistes.
