The building dedicated to the field of music will be erected on a block of land in Gandhinagar’s Sector-1. The plot, which the government had earlier allocated for PM Modi and the late Arun Jaitley is currently under the trust that is in charge of the Naad Brahma Institute’s establishment.
The Naad Brahma Institute of Indian Music which is affiliated with the Manmandir Foundation, will provide a vast archive of information covering every aspect of Indian music. The institute seeks to create a supportive atmosphere for learning and creativity while unifying and promoting the numerous Indian music traditions and genres.

The facility will also have a museum demonstrating music history, a contemporary library and an outdoor musical garden. The Naad Brahma Kala Kendra will function as a unique hub for music-related events in the future. A fine-dining restaurant and a cafeteria will also be situated on the premises.
