Renowned thought leader, philanthropist, and cultural promoter Dr. Dinesh Shahra will grace the Vivaan Handpan & World Music Festival at Bambolim Beach Resort, Goa, where he will present the Green Gold Harmony Award and take part in a symbolic tree plantation drive promoting sustainability.
As the founder of the Green Gold Movement, Dr. Shahra has consistently advocated for building deeper connections between music, nature, and human consciousness. His presence at the festival underscores the theme of harmony between artistic expression and environmental responsibility, encouraging musicians to use their creativity as a force for global healing.
“Music and nature are two expressions of the same divine energy,” said Dr. Shahra. “When we create music or plant a tree, we nurture the same vibration of life. Through this initiative, we aim to inspire artists to perform not just for applause, but for awareness and transformation.”
Festival organiser Mr. Deepak Thakkar expressed his gratitude for Dr. Shahra’s participation, stating that it was an honour to host him at the Vivaan Festival. He noted that Dr. Shahra’s vision of Green Gold seamlessly connects music with sustainability and would inspire artists from around the world to carry this message forward.
During the event, Mr. Alok Lahiri was honoured as the first recipient of the Green Gold Harmony Award, presented by Dr. Dinesh Shahra. The award recognises artists who use music as a medium to inspire balance between humanity and nature.
The festival also serves as a prelude to Green Gold Day celebrations on February 22, marking Dr. Shahra’s birthday. The day is dedicated to promoting music, wellness, and environmental harmony through community initiatives and tree plantation drives.
Together, these efforts reflect Dr. Shahra’s belief that when music and nature unite, they become the true Green Gold of the planet — nurturing peace, joy, and sustainability for generations to come.
