JAIPUR, India, October 14, 2026 : Former Rajasthan Higher Judicial Service member and singer K. P. Saxena has received a Lifetime Achievement Award from the Music Wellness Foundation in recognition of his contribution to music. The award was presented by Ajay Phatak during the musical program Ghazal Ek Ehsaas, held on Saturday at Maharana Pratap Auditorium.
Saxena, who completed his professional judicial career as a District and Sessions Judge, has continued to pursue his longstanding passion for music. His journey brings together two distinct professional fields: the administration of justice and the creative expression of ghazals, devotional songs and other musical works.
The recognition highlights his work in music after years of public service in the judiciary. According to the information provided about the event, the foundation honored him for his significant contribution to the musical field.
From the courtroom to the world of music
Music has been a passion for Saxena since childhood. Although he built his professional career in the Rajasthan Higher Judicial Service, his interest in singing remained an important part of his life.
After completing his judicial service, he continued to work in music, pursuing a field that had interested him from an early age. His experience illustrates how a longstanding creative interest can continue alongside, and beyond, a demanding professional career.
Saxena’s musical repertoire includes devotional bhajans, ghazals and songs intended for a range of listeners and occasions. His work has brought him opportunities to record albums and collaborate with established names in the Indian music industry.
More than 40 albums released by T-Series
One of the notable milestones in Saxena’s musical journey is his association with T-Series, the internationally known Indian music company. The information supplied for this report states that T-Series has released more than 40 audio and video albums featuring his voice.
Among his recognized projects is Mere Ram, an album featuring renowned playback singer Anuradha Paudwal. The collaboration connects Saxena’s devotional singing with a familiar name in Indian playback and devotional music.
Devotional music occupies an important place in India’s cultural and spiritual life, reaching listeners through religious gatherings, festivals, personal prayer and digital music platforms. Saxena’s recorded work in this genre forms a significant part of his musical profile.
‘Happy Marriage Anniversary’ reaches a different audience
Saxena’s repertoire also includes Happy Marriage Anniversary, an album described by the organizers and information supplied for this report as a popular choice for wedding-anniversary celebrations.
The album is intended for celebratory occasions, including anniversary gatherings and cake-cutting ceremonies. Its concept reflects the range of themes in Saxena’s music, extending beyond devotional recordings to songs associated with family celebrations and personal milestones.
Such occasion-based music serves a distinct audience by giving families and couples a soundtrack for meaningful events. The album is another example of Saxena’s effort to explore different settings in which music can become part of everyday life.
Earlier recognition for judicial and musical contributions
The Lifetime Achievement Award from the Music Wellness Foundation is not the first honor associated with Saxena’s career. He has previously received the The Jewel of Rajasthan distinction from Janhit Manch, recognizing his contributions in the fields of justice and singing, according to the supplied information.
He has also reportedly received a Lifetime Achievement Award from Aradhana Musical Group for his contribution to music and singing.
These recognitions reflect the two principal strands of his professional journey: public service through the judiciary and a continuing commitment to music.
Membership in performers’ rights organizations

A continuing commitment to music
Saxena’s recognition at Ghazal Ek Ehsaas marks another milestone in a journey that spans judicial service, recorded music and live musical programs. His experience demonstrates how a professional career and a creative pursuit can occupy different chapters of the same life.
