Shraddhanjali Dear Friends, With a heavy heart we sadly inform you of the demise of Ammaji (Begum AllaRakha), our mother. She was a beautiful and caring person, full of love and kindness to all who met her or came across her. The 10th annual event of The AllaRakha Foundation on 30th April 2010 will be our Shardhanjali to both our parents Ustad AllaRakha and Bavi Begum AllaRakha (15/8/1929 to 24/10/2009). Ammaji`s support was always there for the Foundation which is why we feel it is fitting to have this honourable tribute alongside her husband`s. Ustad Zakir Hussain will be presenting the event `Shraddhanjali` at the Queen Elizabeth Hall, Sabir Khan will accompany them on the Sarangi.

I hope you will give your full support to this event and be a part of this tribute with us. Season`s Greetings to you all. Yours truly, Khurshid Aulia (daughter of Ustad & Begum AllaRakha)  |
