Solo Sitar Recitals & Raag Performances

For these solo performances, I typically require a minimal setup—two microphones on stands and a quiet, focused space. If your venue does not have a professional sound system, I can help you coordinate with a local audio partner to ensure the natural resonance of the sitar reaches every corner of your event without needing a massive PA setup.

My daily practice, or riyaaz, is where my music begins, but my greatest joy is sharing that journey with you. When you book a solo sitar recital, I curate the performance based on the mood of your event. For morning ceremonies or corporate inaugurals, we can focus on pure Indian classical raags like Miya ki Todi or Maru Bihag to create an atmosphere of calm and focus.

If you are hosting a more casual gathering, I also love reinterpreting iconic Bollywood melodies. Whether it is a classic song or a modern favorite, translating vocal lines onto the strings creates a unique listening experience. I treat every note with the same discipline, whether I am performing at a formal concert hall or a private living room setting.

Regarding logistics, I usually perform with a professional tabla accompanist. We typically need a 90-minute slot, which we can split into two 45-minute sets to suit your event flow. For sound, we prefer a warm, acoustic-friendly environment. I am happy to perform on a raised platform or a traditional floor baithak setup, depending on the venue and what makes your guests feel most comfortable. Let us create a space where the music speaks for itself.
