Featured Compositions and Musical Direction

This is a glimpse into 'Ramayan on Tabla', my original audio-visual storytelling concept. I use a blend of rhythmic poetry, vibrant melodies, and a symphony of percussion instruments to bring the epic of Ramayan to life in a new way.

For Spotify's Echo project, I collaborated on the track 'Kautilya', which blended traditional Indian classical instruments with a modern, cinematic soundscape. The track's viral success, with over 13 million views, shows the power of fusion music to connect with a global audience.

'Shiv Shakti' is one of my signature compositions, a Tabla Jugalbandi where I explore the divine duality of Purush and Prakruti. This piece uses two tablas and two distinct ragas to create a dialogue between the masculine and feminine energies through rhythm and melody.

'Taal Tiranga' is my patriotic composition that captures the spirit of India in 111 seconds. It's a rhythmic tribute to our nation, blending the power of the tabla with the emotion of Vande Mataram to evoke a sense of national pride.

Composing the background score for M.F. Husain's film 'Gaja Gamini' was a landmark project. I used only my tabla and voice to create the entire soundscape, an innovative approach that was appreciated at the Cannes Film Festival and marked the beginning of my journey in tabla storytelling for cinema.

I am deeply grateful for the recognition I have received, including being named 'Bharat ki Lakshmi' by Prime Minister Narendra Modi ji and receiving the 'First Ladies Award' from the President of India for my pioneering work as a female tabla professional.

This press feature highlights a special Navratri performance where I played nine different percussion instruments to represent the nine manifestations of Goddess Durga. This composition, part of my Stree Shakti concerts, celebrates woman power through the language of rhythm and Navrasas.
