About

Honestly, the veena is my whole world. Performing Carnatic veena solo recitals or teaming up for a veena jugalbandi live show, I put my heart into every stage - whether it's a crowded festival or a quiet temple corner. My schedule is always mad, but the pure joy of playing makes it worth all the travel and late-night rehearsals.

Where I Play

• Big sabhas, music festivals (like Bengaluru International Arts Festival, Ramanavami)
• Cultural and temple events (Kannada Rajyotsava, Shivarathri, Dasara - honestly, nothing beats that temple vibe)
• Private gigs: I've played at farmhouses, companies, even tiny living rooms - anywhere music fits

What You’ll Hear

• Carnatic veena solo recitals, with awesome co-artists on mridangam, violin, ghatam
• Veena jugalbandi live shows with Hindustani or Carnatic musicians - sometimes flute, sometimes sitar, always something new
• Larger veena ensemble concert experience, even "Pancha Veena" (five veenas!)
• Sometimes I pull my students into big group performances for a different energy

Bangalore Roots, Global Stages

Bangalore is home, but I travel for concerts all over India and even Europe - Germany, Netherlands, you name it. Every audience is different, so each show feels fresh. If you want the veena to fill your space with something special, I’m always up for it.
