The Society for Appreciation of Bharatiya Heritage and Arts (SABHA) is sponsoring a free concert in the Little Theatre at the K-State Student Union on Sunday.

Parangiri Nivas Rajaram, graduate student in electrical engineering and president of SABHA, said there are two main types of classical Indian music: Hindustani and Carnatic. Hindustani music, which is found in northern India, has been featured by SABHA before.

He also said this concert will feature Carnatic music, which is more common in the southern areas of India.

"This is going to be a unique show," Rajaram said.

The artists include Latha Venkatesh, who will be playing a stringed instrument called a veena, and Sivanandha Moorthy on a percussion instrument called a miruthangam.

Rajaram said both instruments are difficult to play and require great skill.

SABHA sponsored an exhibit in September, Rajaram said, to show students different kinds of instruments and dance. He said the students enjoyed learning traditional dance steps and were very interested in the instruments on display.

Rajaram said many asked when they could hear the instruments being played, and he assured them SABHA would have a concert.

He encouraged students, faculty and members of the Manhattan community to come experience the concert.

"We want to show how rich India is in its culture," Rajaram said.
