Established on the auspicious day of Maha Shivratri in the year 1926 by Deshraj Major (Dr.) Ranjit Singh, Late Baijnath Sahai and Late Satyanand Joshi, the Prayag Sangit Samiti remains the premier Institution for the practice and propagation of music in India. The Samiti is an organization registered under the Indian Societies Registration Act of 1860 and was founded with the sole aim of popularizing the cause of Indian Classical Music in India.
Prayag Sangit Samiti is a valiant attempt towards rescuing music from disrepute to which it had come during the period from 15th to 17th century. All through its span of nine decades of existence, the Samiti has been playing the role of torch-bearer in the world of classical music and it can legitimately pride itself in having achieved high reputation for consistently upholding the highest and the richest traditions of this sublime art.
