TARANG RATNA AWARDS

URise India Foundation honours two veteran artists in the fields of music and dance for their lifetime contributions to the world of fine arts by bestowing upon them the prestigious titles of ‘Taranga Gana Kala Ratna’ and ‘Taranga Nruthya Kala Ratna’—recognizing them as gems in the fields of music and dance, respectively.

This initiative aims to identify and celebrate great Gurus who have dedicated their lives to the selfless service of the arts, nurturing generations of artists and enriching the cultural landscape. Each year, one distinguished artist from the Dance Fraternity and one from the Music Fraternity are carefully selected for this honour. They are felicitated during URise Utsav (formerly Tarang), our National Youth Festival, in the presence of esteemed artists, scholars, and art lovers, as a tribute to their invaluable contributions to the world of Indian classical arts.
