Live Sitar Performances and Musical Ensembles

Music is my lifeline, and my goal is to make it the heartbeat of your event. My work spans two distinct worlds: the quiet intensity of Indian classical music and the vibrant energy of live fusion.

Classical Baithak & Concerts

For smaller gatherings, house concerts, or formal receptions, I perform traditional solo sitar recitals. These are meditative and grounded, perfect for creating a sophisticated atmosphere. My jugalbandi (duet) performances with my brother, Chirag, bring a unique, synchronized energy that works wonderfully as a headline act for cultural festivals or evening ceremonies.

Urja Fusion Band

When you need higher energy, my band, Urja, takes over. This 6-piece ensemble blends the sitar with drums, keys, and bass, delivering a sound that is perfect for upbeat corporate events or sangeet nights. We rework everything from classical compositions to contemporary Bollywood hits, ensuring your guests are engaged from the first note.

Logistics & Tech

Whether it is a living room baithak or a large-scale auditorium, I take sound very seriously. For classical setups, I generally require two Shure SM57/58 mics and a small mixer. For full band fusion shows, a professional PA system with adequate subwoofers is essential to handle the bass and electric elements. I have performed everywhere from the NCPA in Mumbai to auditoriums in New Jersey, and I always ensure my technical requirements are communicated clearly so the focus remains entirely on the music.
