New Delhi, India, September 11th, 2025 – Wishes and Blessings, a Delhi-based NGO committed to uplifting the underprivileged, is all set to host the fourth edition of its flagship fundraiser concert ‘Jashn-e-Qawwali’. The event is scheduled on Friday, 12th September 2025, from 7:00 pm onwards at Kamani Auditorium, Delhi. The evening will feature a captivating live performance by the internationally renowned Qawwali troupe, the ‘Niazi Nizami Brothers’. They are all set to create a magical musical evening with their famous earworm ‘Hasta hua noorani chehra’ and other popular qawwalis. The tickets of the event are available for ₹499/-only on District by Zomato.
The NGO has been organizing the fund-raising event, Jashn-e-Qawwali for the last three years with 100% of the proceeds going towards transformative initiatives led by the organisation. Now in its fourth year, the funds raised from ‘Jashn-e-Qawwali’ will contribute to build a permanent home for the elderly residents of the NGO’s old age home-Mann Ka Tilak, which currently runs on leased land, in Maidan Garhi, Saket, Delhi. Since its establishment in 2018, it has helped over 280 senior citizens. The home provides free of cost shelter, meals and healthcare to abandoned, abused, and neglected elderly individuals. Although leased land serves its purpose, it fails to give elderly individuals assurance that this is their permanent home. In addition to that, despite need and willingness, the organisation cannot accommodate more elderly due to limited space.
On organizing the 4th edition of the fund raiser, Dr. Geetanjali Chopra, Founder & President of Wishes and Blessings says, “Jashn-e-Qawwali is more than an evening of music-it is a celebration of humanity. At Wishes and Blessings, our vision is to create a society where compassion is a way of life. Through this event, we connect heart to a cause often invisible- the plight of abandoned elders. Every hand that joins us, take us one step closer to a future where no elder feels forgotten”.
On their upcoming performance at the fund-raising event, Shahid Niazi, one of the leading artists of the Niazi Nizami Brothers troupe, says, “It is our privilege to perform at Jashn-e-Qawwali. This concert allows us to showcase our tradition while contributing to the meaningful cause. We are hoping to make it a soulful evening that everyone will remember”.
