Saregamapa

Auditions for the show were held in the cities shown below. As shown in the pilot episode, the 2007 process was very chaotic, especially in India: contestants waited in long lines and large crowds and people jumped fences and lines to get a chance at auditioning. Although for the first time, the Sa Re Ga Ma Pa series did not begin the show with an episode of the audition clips, the majority of them were rejected leaving only 16 final contestants chosen from India that performed on the pilot episode.
