Under the aegis of Ministry of Culture, Government of India, the Indira Gandhi National Centre for the Arts (IGNCA) has created, a mobile and web music application ‘SANGAM’, as the name of the application suggests, has been conceived as an aural confluence of several streams of devotion and divinity, as also a confluence of the various art forms that are part of our musical traditions. The application has been envisioned as a one-stop virtual destination for the connoisseurs of music of classical, folk, devotional and popular styles alike.

‘SANGAM’ is a first of its kind initiative taken by the Ministry of Culture, Government of India and the following are its major features:

1. Sangam features over 2500 devotional tracks in 24 Indian languages on themes such as Mantras, Lord Vishnu (and his various Avatars like Ram and Krishna, etc.), Lord Shiva, Lord Ganesha, Goddess Durga and Devis (such as Lakshmi, Saraswati) etc.

2. The content includes songs and music from the National Audio-Visual Cultural Archives, by Bharat Ratna(s) PanditBhimsen Joshi, Ustad Bismillah Khan and Dr. M.S. Subbulakshmi; and incorporates recitation and recitals from classical texts like The Vedas, Adi Shankaracharya’s Moha Mudgara, poet Jayadeva’s Gita Govinda, Goswami Tulsi Das’s Ram Charit Manas, Dohas of Sant Kabir, Bhajans of Meera Bai, Kritis of Thyagaraja and Abhangs of Sant Tukaram, to name only a few.

3. Furthermore, the rich content includes Thumris, Dadras, Bhajans, Abhangs, Kritis and Padams and other genres across various traditions of Hindustani & Carnatic Classical Music and folk music.

4. Sangam App will be updated soon with several Sufi, Gurbani and other devotional tracks from all faiths.

Sangam App is available now on Android and iOS platforms, and also as a web application.

There are a lot of unexplored cultural items in various ethnic groups born out of either agricultural, religious systems in many remote corners of our country. An expedition is necessary to haunt these enriched cultural activities. Mostly communities living in hilly areas could not bring their cultures to the world. A massive haunt is necessary for the interest at least India nation as a whole.

The quality of voice of Shlok is hazy, unclear and disturbing. The voice must be clear, audible and impressive. The selection option should be there to start the next shlok, even the list of shloks should also be available for choices. The hindi translation of all shloks should be available in both format written and audio.

There should be a provision in “Sangam” app that any text, poem or collection can be seen, read or heard in any language of selection. “Sangam” app should help the common man in understanding the culture of all parts at a single click.

India is with many cultural diversities and this app is a medium to reunite and widens social linkages.say tribal culture -folk ,food , forest produce are in good carry and rural culture -traditional base -folk, music,festives etc are really connecting India and connecting people wide.aggregerian culture is a promotive factor of Indian livelihood pattern and city or metro are sophisticated in nature,urban culture is tiresome.Sangam App is a platform to unite people,spreads Indian patriotic zeal.
