Stavanaavali, the United Kingdom's first Jain concert, was presented in November 2015 to a sell out crowd. Due to its resounding success and overwhelming public demand, Stavanaavali is now being re-performed on Saturday 30th April 2016.
Immerse yourself into an evening of Jain devotion at Harrow Arts Centre, Hatch End featuring Saggar Malde, accompanied by an impressive array of renowned singers and musicians. Enjoy a spectacular concert of 'stavans' or Jain prayers, through varying styles of classical, traditional and contemporary Indian music all directed towards homage of the Jina.
Saggar is an upcoming young artist, who has given numerous performances both within the UK and internationally. With a background in Indian classical music, he has entertained audiences in a variety of genres including bollywood and cultural. However he is perhaps best known for his soulful interpretations of devotional music. In Stavanaavali, Saggar will weave a tapestry of melody, tradition and spirituality that will take you on a journey through the Jain faith, sparking a soul-stirring experience that will linger long after the concert ends.

Recent testimonials include:
The sonorous singing of Saggar takes one into a world of serenity and spirituality. Samani Pratibha Pragya, Head Nun, Jain Vishva Bharati London
Saggar has a wonderful desire to partake in the worship of the Jain Fordmakers. That very desire, together with his melodious voice has the ability to captivate many in worship and prayer. It is impressive that he is providing members of the community with the gift of Jain hymns in our mother tongue, having been born and brought up in the UK. I hope that he progresses greatly in learning music; and that the blessings of our Fordmakers, our Gurus and the Goddess Saraswati always remain with him.
Jayeshbhai Shah, Community Administrator, Jain Samaj EuropeWe are delighted to state that Saggar Malde is a singer of Jain devotional songs. His melodious voice, style and zeal in singing are simply marvellous and deserves praise. He sings at many occasions and wins people's hearts. We wish him all the best for his future assignments. Vinodbhai Kapashi, President, Mahavir Foundation
I have known Saggar for a number of years and he has a beautiful and melodious voice. I have invited him to sing at a number of our 'bhakti' sessions at Oshwal Ekta Centre; the audience have really enjoyed listening to his wonderful singing and a lot of positive feedback has been received. Saggar has provided his valuable time and skills to many good causes and it is great to see a young person being so devoted to 'bhakti'.
Maheshbhai Shah, Religious Portfolio, Oshwal North WestSaggar has a beautiful melodious uplifting voice that brings joy in your heart and engages the mind to sing. He has performed at the YJ Raas Garba, Sweet Harmony bhakti sessions and has recited beautiful poetry in Sanskrit at the Mahavir Janma Kalyanak celebrations. Saggar's devotion and spirituality come through in his singing, and he is truly a talented professional singer. Bijal Shah Harania, President, Young Jains UK
