Ananya is a non-profit cultural organization established in 1995 in Bangalore for promoting, propagating and nurturing varied art forms.

Apart from regular concerts by veteran and upcoming artists in its acoustically designed auditorium, Ananya has also set up a music archive – Ananya Sangraha – which houses live recordings of over 10,000 hours by music stalwarts of yester years and of contemporary musicians, books, photographs and other education material.

Ananya has extended its support to the artists through another unique scheme, Ananya Arogyadhara. This is a health help line to musicians who are in need for support towards medical expenses.

Arogyadhara has a network of medical specialists and hospitals who have offered their services for the cause and financial support extended by the Arogyadhara Fund as decided by a committee. More than 90 musicians have benefited from this facility. Besides free consultancy, considerable rebate is offered on treatment as well as hospital expenses, if any. The extent of such assistance is decided by the committee on the merits of the case.

Attempts have been on to raise funds and strengthen the scheme. Another step in the direction is Sangeetha-Sandhya, an evening of music performances in aid of Arogyadhara. Leading artists of the state present Vocal recital, Instrumental fusion music and Percussion ensemble

Sangeetha – Sandhya will be held on Sunday, January 1, 2012 at JSS Auditorium, 1st Main Road, 38th Cross, 8th Block, Jayanagar, Bangalore, 5.00 pm onwards.
