Mahesh Kale Sets the Royal Opera House Aglow with Divine Diwali Melodies

It was a truly magical homecoming when San Francisco-based National Award-winning Hindustani classical vocalist Mahesh Kale returned to India for his Diwali special concert series in Maharashtra, performing in Dadar, Thane, and culminating in a spellbinding concert at the iconic Royal Opera House, Mumbai, on Diwali and the following day. The Royal Opera House glowed with devotion and festive warmth, filled to capacity with a sea of people who came to soak in the light of Kale’s music. On the sacred occasion of Diwali and Lakshmi Pooja, Kale’s voice seemed to mirror the radiance of a thousand diyas… each note lighting up hearts and drawing the audience into a state of spiritual bliss.

As the seats filled and the moment his first raag surfaced, a hush fell over the hall, time seemed to slow, and the atmosphere turned almost sacred. One could see eyes closing, lips quietly mouthing the words, and souls lifted together in unison. Kale’s soulful renditions of Anand Manao Mangal Gao, Majhe Jeevan Gane, Morya Morya, Man Lobhale Man Mohne, and He Suranno Chandra Vha, among others, held the audience in a state of serene enchantment.

The mid-morning concert turned into a celebration of light, sound, and inner awakening. In the revered space of the Royal Opera House, the convergence of tradition, devotion, music, and festival left an imprint on every heart present, while Kale’s voice didn’t just sing: it guided the house full of people to sing Hindustani classical along with him.

Each piece carried its own emotional and spiritual resonance, building up to a rousing finale. As the final strains of Kale’s own Hindi composition Shree Ram Jay Ram Jay Jay Ram faded into the opulent ceiling archways, the silence that remained was alive… full of gratitude, reverence, and the promise of many more luminous moments to come.
