On April 11, 2008 Anup Jalota returned to the Devi Mandir in front of a capacity crowd. This free concert was held during Vasant Navaratri and many turned out to hear Anup Jalota ji. Accompanying him was the ever popular Tony Ramesar on the tabla, Basheer Khan on the bul-bul tarang, Devin Latchmana on dholak and Anita Binda on chorus.

Born in Phagwara, Punjab and educated in Lucknow, Anup started his musical career as a chorus singer in All India Radio. He is the son of Purushottam Das Jalota, a renowned exponent of the bhajan. A brilliant singer, Anup Jalota has accomplished in five years what took Elvis Presley 27 years to achieve - when in 1998 he surpassed Presley's record of 45 gold and platinum discs with 58 discs of his own.

Below is a short clip from the concert. Please visit our photo section to see a few pictures from this event.
