This is India’s first complete Indian Music National Talent Hunt. In September 2009, the Indian Music Academy Idea Jalsa selected artistes purely on the basis of musical expertise and skill in the 5 years to 45 years’ range. This is a first of its kind hunt that spans all forms of Indian music such as ghazal, bhajan, Sufi, folk, qawwali, Hindustani and Carnatic (Vocal and Instrumental).
