Vaishnavi Jagran Group (H.O .)

Our main office is over at E-2 in Meerut Cantt, right in the Shatabdi Nagar area. Vaishnavi Jagran Group has been doing religious programs and musical nights for a long time now. If you live in Meerut, you probably know that these things go on late into the night. That is our life. We spend our evenings singing and playing instruments and our days trying to get some sleep. Shatabdi Nagar is a nice spot for us to keep our equipment and meet up before a show. It is not a corporate setup at all. It is more like a group of friends who happened to turn their singing into a full-time thing. We have all sorts of instruments piled up in the corners—harmoniums, dholaks, and speakers. Sometimes the van breaks down on the way to a village, or we lose our voice after a long night, but we keep going. People call us because they want a traditional feel for their jagran. We don't use any fancy tricks. We just show up, set up the stage, and start the music. It is a humble way to make a living here in Meerut Cantt. We aren't looking to be famous or anything; we just like the community and the songs. If you are ever near E-2, you might hear us practicing or talking about the next show. We are usually around during the afternoons getting ready for the long night ahead of us.
