From high-fashion stages like the Dior show to international festivals, my performances go beyond standard recitals. I tailor each set to the energy of your event.

This was a historic moment, performing for the Dior Fall '23 show at the iconic Gateway of India. I curated the Indian musical segment, creating a live dialogue between Indian and Western classical music that was choreographed to the catwalk. It was a pioneering blend of fashion, tradition, and modern artistry.

I am incredibly proud of my band, Stree Shakti, the world's first all-female Indian classical ensemble. Here is a post from the Indian Council for Cultural Relations (ICCR) recognizing our performance for their 75th foundation day, a moment that celebrated both our cultural heritage and the power of women in music.

The Ramayan is an epic that resonates deeply with me, and I wanted to tell its story through the voice of my tabla. This is a glimpse into my conceptual show, 'Ramayan on Tabla', an audio-visual musical theatre experience that combines folk, classical, and fusion music with poetry and vocals to bring the epic to life.

It has been a profound honour to tour and perform with the God of Bansuri, Pt. Hariprasad Chaurasia. This clip is from one of our many concerts together, a memory of the beautiful musical conversations we shared on stages across the world, from India and Japan to Australia.

Music is often about spontaneous connection. This was an impromptu jam session with the incredible American jazz guitarist Stanley Jordan. It’s in these unplanned moments of fusion, where my tabla meets a completely different musical tradition, that new and exciting rhythms are born.

Representing India on the world's most iconic stages has been a dream. This collage captures the energy of performing at the Woodstock Festival for 400,000 fans and at the WOMAD festival, where my Stree Shakti band and I received a standing ovation from over 150,000 people.

I am forever grateful for the encouragement I have received from our nation's leaders. This is a collection of communications from our beloved Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi ji, including a personal letter and his recognition of my work as 'Bharat ki Lakshmi'.

It was a thrill to collaborate with Spotify on their 'Kautilya' track, which brought Indian classical music to a massive global audience with over 13 million views. Being chosen as the face of their official Tabla playlist was a wonderful recognition of the power and reach of our traditional rhythms.

A moment of complete immersion during a solo performance at Bharat Bhavan in Bhopal. For me, the tabla is not just an instrument; it is an extension of my voice and soul, through which I share stories, emotions, and prayers.

Receiving the 'Kala Srijak Samman' from Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar ji and Union Minister Shri Gajendra Singh Shekhawat at the Art of Living World Culture Festival was a deeply humbling experience. It was a beautiful confluence of art, culture, and spirituality.
