The concert, which is open to the public and broadcast live on radio, is a "musical meditation" to celebrate the “occasion of a solemn holiday in the Hindu calendar Diwali corresponding to our celebrations of the new year”, the Quirinale Palace said on its website.

“This is a significant event as it marks the first time an Indian artist has been invited to perform at such a venue,” it said.

In a Facebook post, Dutta said: “Arrived in Turin to perform in the Diwali festival… Then off to Roma soon after to perform at the prestigious palace of the President. Happy Diwali.”

“In raag Bilashkhani Todi, I will perform a bandish that goes like ‘Jagadambika Ambika mardani'. I will conclude with a Rama bhajan,” he added.

Every Sunday, the 17th-century chapel hosts a concert, which is broadcast live on radio and open to the public, too.
