India has a very rich cultural heritage. Classical music has been one of its invaluable treasures.

Aadi Shakti Music and Dance Academy (Aadi Shakti Sangeet Kala Kendra) started its musical journey from Patna, in 2006, under the tutelage of Shri Janardan Pandey. The objective was to preserve and promote the richness of Indian classical music and dance.

In an attempt to make classical music available to every household, Shri Janardan Pandey decided to sow a seed which led to the birth of Aadi Shakti Sangeet Kala Kendra in the year 2006; a small step towards the realization of a larger dream. Shri Janardan Pandey set an example by making his sons, Shri Amit Kumar, Shri Ankit Kumar and Shri Atit Kumar musicians of great calibre and skill.

His family now works in unison towards achieving a common dream. Their strength lies in their shared vision and unity.
