About Us

Welcome to
Indian National Theatre

The Indian National Theatre (INT) is a registered society that has been working in and around Chandigarh, towards the promotion and preservation of Indian culture for over four decades.

It was in the year 1977 that Sh N Khosla became the Hony Secretary of the society and put forth his vision for the same, which was to start a Sangeet Sammelan on the same lines as the ‘Hariballabh Sangeet Sammelan’ in Jalandhar. Thus was born the ‘Mini Hariballabh’ so to say, which took off successfully ever since, under the banner of the ‘Chandigarh Sangeet Sammelan’.

Our Video Collection

Annual Chandigarh Sammelan

The Indian National Theatre Chandigarh ( hereafter INT) has brought to the Chandigarh audience over the past 5 decades, high calibre musicians to perform on a platform which has not only provided great musicians the opportunity to present their art form, but also expose our listeners to high quality music.

INT is a not for profit Society and has always offered free listening to all its members and music lovers. The recordings in the section, (made over the last half a century) below have been preserved by INT and we are happy to share them with you. INT has never derived any commercial profit from music presented or preserved and is sharing these recordings only for the purpose of spreading and promoting Indian classical music.

The recordings were made while the artists were performing for INT, at its invitation, before its members and other live audiences.

We have also included some recordings from our late patron Sh N Khosla’s personal collection with the same purpose.

We are grateful to Smt Vasundhara Chauhan and Sh Vivek Chauhan ( daughter and son in law of Sh N Khosla) for initiating and financing the process of digitising all the recordings collected hy Sh N Khosla. Nevertheless, it has been a long and challenging effort in the completion of this entire music uploading process . We are very grateful to Mr Alok Ramsisaria(CEO) and Mrs Neeta Ramsisaria(Founder) at Grazitti Interactive LLP, and their team for helping us upload all these recordings as an honorary service to our society. Heartfelt gratitude to them.
