BOSTON— The date for “Samarpan: An Evening of Devotional Songs,” presented by Juju Productions, has been moved to October 9, 2025, in observance of Karva Chauth, a major Hindu religious day. The program was originally scheduled for October 10.
This year, Karva Chauth falls on October 10. Traditionally, the festival is observed by married Hindu women across the world, who fast and pray for the well-being, longevity, and prosperity of their husbands.
Venue and Time Remain Unchanged:
Sai Temple, Groton, MA
Thursday, October 9 | 6:30 PM
“Samarpan,” meaning total surrender or devotion, is a spiritually immersive evening of Indian classical and devotional music. The performance will feature live renditions by acclaimed vocalist Anuradha Juju Palakurthi and noted musician Mithilesh Patankar, accompanied by an elite live band under the direction of legendary music arranger Kamlesh Bhadkamkar, who will be flying in from Mumbai exclusively for the show.
Set against the serene backdrop of the Sai Temple in Groton, the evening offers a rare chance to experience the emotional depth of India’s bhakti tradition through music—from classical compositions to beloved spiritual songs featured in Bollywood cinema.
“For centuries, devotion has breathed life into the classical and folk music of India, carrying its melodies from generation to generation. Many of these sacred compositions have touched hearts for hundreds of years, and it is with deep gratitude that I offer them today at the Sai Baba temple,” said Anuradha Juju Palakurthi in a previous statement.
