Passion, Tradition and Excellence.

A Legacy of Classical
Excellence Since 1932

Founded on January 14, 1932, by Sri B.V. Gopalakrishna Rao and Violin Maestro Sri T. Chowdiah, The Indian Fine Arts Society has been serving the cause of music, dance, and drama for over nine decades. The Society has nurtured many legendary artistes and continues to uphold India’s rich cultural heritage. Its prestigious Annual Music Festival attracts rasikas nationwide and honors excellence with the revered titles Sangeetha Kalasikhamani and Natya Kalasikhamani, celebrating outstanding contributions to classical arts.

In addition to the grand festival, the Society conducts composer commemorations such as Tyagaraja Aradhana and other cultural observances every year. As a non-profit organization without its own auditorium, it relies entirely on the generosity of donors and sponsors. Your support through donations and sponsorships will help preserve and promote our timeless classical traditions for generations to come.
