About

For me, the sitar isn’t just about tunes or tradition. It’s about healing - for you, for me, for whoever needs a little calm. I started 'Sitar for Mental Health' to create a space where music does more than entertain. It helps us deal with the mad rush of life, one city at a time. Every concert is my way of sharing what my Guru, Pt. Ravi Shankar, taught me - music is medicine.

What Happens at My Gigs

You won’t just sit and watch. We start slow, with some stillness - meditation and pranayama, sometimes with the deep sound of the Surbahar. Once the mind’s settled, the sitar takes over. Think soulful ragas, a bit of fusion, jazz, even blues. The second half? We shift gears – full-on celebration mode. Sometimes you’ll catch me blending in Game of Thrones or Harry Potter themes, or jamming to Bollywood classics. It’s always a mix, never stiff.

The Vibe & My Style

My roots are Indian classical, but I’m not shy to play around. Expect sawal-jawab (musical banter) with my tabla player, my own tracks from 'Navaras,' spiritual chants, and spontaneous fusion sitar performances. One night it’s a candle-lit hall, another time a massive crowd – but I keep the energy real, grounded, always about connecting.

If you want an interactive live music experience that’s got both old-school soul and a bit of madness, this is it.
