Chaturprahar is an annual Indian classical music festival held at National Centre for Performing Arts (NCPA) in Mumbai, India. It is based on the concept of association of time (prahar) with the ragas. 2011 saw the inception of this festival. It usually takes place in the month of September every year.[1]
The festival started in 2011 at NCPA, Mumbai. It explores various ragas associated with different times of the day. Singing these ragas at their particular times brings out the most in them. For instance, ragas like Lalat or Bhatiyar or Bibhas are early morning ragas whereas the ones which emerge from Kalyan are best when heard in the evening.
